Day 4 | Camylle Leake

Today we went back to the same house we have been at all week. Jordan and I got to learn a new skill today, we learned how to put down flooring. Let me tell ya I loved doing the flooring, I thought it was a lot of fun. Vicki gave me the bright idea to use more than on bug bracelet so I had three on today which seem to keep the bugs off of me. But we also were inside most of the day too. Overall today was a very good learning experience and a great days of work!

Day 3 | Camylle Leake

Today was a super super hot day, it reached 100 degrees today and let me tell ya Texas humidity is not like WV’s. Jordan and I painted and sanded some trim this morning at the same house we worked on yesterday. Jordan and I were still the groups go to girls for cleaning up brushes and pans. I must say I have applied and applied bug spray but I have still managed to get eaten up somehow. But besides the awful Texas bugs we had a great days of work!

Day 2 | Camylle Leake

Today my group went to a different job site, it was about forty-five minutes away from where we have been staying this week. We did some painting and a lot of cleaning brushes. It was beyond hot today too which made it seem like we were working so much harder. Had a lot of laughs and a few bugs chasing Jordan and I but other than that over all we got a lot done today!

Day 1 | Camylle Leake

Well today was my first day working with Samaritans Purse, I must say it was an exciting day. We worked on a beach house right along the water. It was a beautiful view and there were many laughs and great conversations held in rooms we painted. We might of used the wrong color paint the first time we trimmed and rolled the walls in the rooms but we got in right the second time around. Jordan and I got the pleasure of picking up all the paper on the floors in house and man was that an adventure. Sadly we didn’t get to meet the owners but it was still a good day of work!
