Constructors for Christ 2010

Oh my goodness...I cannot tell you how excited we were to be going to help another church build this year just like so many others gave their time to help us last summer! A total of eleven from Maplewood went to Spotsylvania, Virginia this summer to help Craig's Baptist Church build their new facility. The week Corey and I traveled, we took six. Caleb and Bennett were supposed to go, but the site was just too dangerous for kids, so they ended up having an awesome week with Ge and Grumps for a few days and with Aunt Waverly, Uncle David and the cousins for a few days. We were so grateful that our family stepped in at the last minute in order for us to go. We knew they would have a great time. The guys mostly hung sheetrock during the week...lots of it! Deanna and I kept the site clean and completed other random jobs that needed our attention until we decided to buy overalls in honor of Ray...amazingly we got promoted to sheetrock that day, too! It was such a wonderful week...we truly love Constructors and their heart for the Lord. What a blessing to serve alongside those served us! Here are a few pictures from our week!Haha...don't ask! This picture would NOT turn the right way!
Another really special thing for me was that my Great Uncle Ab and Aunt Wanda lived 10 minutes from our hotel! I haven't been to their home since I was in the second grade, but remember the beautiful farm, riding their pony and helping feed the horses. We were able to visit with them for a couple of hours one night. They called the family over too..it was a wonderful addition to our week!
