Rats, Mice, and Cock Roaches...

hey y'all (again!)!

we have to have a "devotional" in a couple minutes, so this has gotta be quick.

there's obviously too much to write and not enough words to say it all. i am deffinately getting into the groove of things here, and i like it better each day. i keep thinking to myself, "this is not a glamorous job..." there is ZERO glamour here. not that i was expecting that, or wanting it, but there is none. for me, i am designated to stay back at "camp"...this means i help prepare all the meals, and clean up after each meal as well. in between meals, i clean all the bathrooms (hairy shower drains and all!), dinning room, hallways, and vaccum both the guys and girls "dorm". after all that is done, there are odd jobs that i am in charge of. one of the main jobs has been for me to clean out this big 'ol RV that has not been lived in since october. there are absolutelyl rats, mice, and some remnents of cock roaches out there...i have cleaned A LOT of poop. i look disgusting all day long- i feel disgusting all day long! BUT...i am happy. some thing that has stuck out to me is "don't have any expectations, because we will disappoint you." i am clinging to that. it's weird, because i don't really feel like i am helping people re-build their homes and lives, but i understand that whole pyramid affect that happends. i have had this amazing "partner in crime"- katherine through it all! that has been wonderful! we laugh A LOT! we are continually amazed at the poop that appears in every project that we do! it's so gross and ironic that now we just howl with laughter any time we come across it!
alright, my buddy "rico" is tellin' me it's time for "devo's"...rico is cool! he's from jersey.
