Appalachia: Sawing, Painting, & "Rusty Girl"
The team has a stalker! From the first day on the jobsite, an adorable reddish dog has been following our team at Bonnie's house. Although very skittish, she hangs with us the entire day. The team first named "him" Rusty...but soon changed it to "Rusty Girl".
Bonnie's new deck is making progress! The team has used (or been taught to use): hammers, drills, crow bars, post hole diggers, tap bars, levels, triangles, circular saw, sawzall, and kwik crete.
Besides building her new deck, we've mulched her tired flower bed, planted new flowers, painted her late husband's arbor, and made a sign from repurposed wood from her old deck.
The team has connected with Bonnie and her son, Jason, quite nicely. She came right out this morning when we arrived to pray with our team and tell us how she just loves us! Bonnie is receiving much needed community as she only leaves her home once a month. The team now can see how God has arranged this entire week/project so perfectly.
