Day 4 | Tess Morlan

I was windy today and I mean windy. We were back at cowboy Joes house today putting on the some final touches and every time I step out side my hat almost blow off my head. Everyone in my group was feeling the 4th day we all moved a little slower today but no one was in a bad mood or complained. All in all it was windy and hot but a good day.

Day 3 | Contessa Morlan

We woke up to light being flipped on and the sound echos of what day is it asked to any child that past. following that chant was hump day over and over. It was a good day we were located at the church today building a temporary wall. Which was harder process than I have ever experienced because you have nothing to anchor it to or square it against. So it took us the whole day. I feel like we all learned something new today no matter what are experience level was. That all for today.

Day 2 | Contessa Morlan

Today we were back at cowboy joe’s house. It was a good day all in all. we only had a few little mess-up but nothing that could be fix with just a wet rag. We spent all day painting base boards and trim around door but we did not have any tape so we had to be really careful. We got all of our job for today done before we left and our group leader Tim was very impressed and was happy with out work ethic and all together the job we did. The house received it lights and bather supply today but we are not aloud to touch that work. They have a contractor come in to do it. As far as I know we will be back tomorrow to hag closet door and finish what we are aloud to tomorrow. It truly was a good day and after noon we got a nice breeze and it made it a lot better. That’s all I have for tonight

Day 1 | Contessa Morlan

We had a very interesting drive down the first thing I learned about Taxes is that they are not very good driver. It was the Lords blessing that we made it down her safely. Today was the first day we got to work on the house and it was a really good day. Cowboy Joe was our home owner today and he was a giant Taxes cowboy’s fan. He informed me that he painted his house the cowboy blue color. We are not sure if we will end up in the same group or at the same house so it will be a chance to meet more people tomorrow maybe that would be nice. That is all for me tonight.

Day 6 | Contessa Morlan

Today I worked on the two story house and I do not do ladders and there was a lot of climbing and so what i did a lot of was holding ladders. Jarren was like Spiderman he had to jump from roof to roof to pant a little section of house up where ladder could not reach. Amber and I as we were holding ladders made up some songs about painting and a few of them where pretty good. I was a very wonderful day and we had a great crew that I have gotten to know very well. We go to Yellowstone tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it.

Day 5 | Contessa Morlan

I was hot today the was first and by far the most important. We had VBS today and we had about 12 kid and they did want to leave. After VBS we went to pant a two-story house. I have been blessed these last few days because I have had the privilege of getting to know some of the youth I other wised would not get to spend any time with. This is a wonderful experience and I am truly blessed to have been presented with the opportunity to come. God working here in Montana. I love and miss all my family and friends back home.

Day 4 | Contessa Morlan

We didn’t get to blog yesterday all I can say is that it was a long ride. We are all in our cabins unpacked and ready to work tomorrow. I’m still not sure of what we are going to do tomorrow but I do know that it was be for God and that’s all that matters. We went to church today and it was different but it was a very nice service and I enjoyed it very much. After church, we went to get food came back to the camp and went to yellowtail dam. Where a storm came in fast Jarren had to jump in a get a boy that couldn’t make it back in ( it was not any of our kids) but a boat got to him before Jarren could. All and all it was a pretty eventful day. Love to all my family and friends back home.

Day 1 | Contessa Morlan

From what I remember of the van trip (because I was sleep half the time) it was fun. I did get to see every stated line the we entered beside Ohio but I have seen that one plenty of times. We played games and enjoyed the scenery this is the farthest I have ever been west before so it was cool to be sharing my experience with my some of my family. Love and miss all my family back home but I have a feeling that God is going to do great things on this trip.
