Day Two — Scott Kennedy and Carty Johannsen

We woke up and ate breakfast together, then took off for the worksite. We started our first day of work by demolishing a house. It was very entertaining for many of us young people as we got to use sledge hammers to destroy walls, and we also got to watch all sorts of things be burned in a huge, flaming fire. It was a lot of fun as we all worked together to get this house down. One thing that stood out was all the bees and wasps, and about 10 people got stung at least once. It was a long, hard-working day, but at the same time it was very nice knowing we were helping the community.

We enjoyed a lunch of cold cuts, baloney and peanut butter sandwiches at the job site. The day started cool enough but by 1 p.m. it was eastern Kentucky warm. We left the site at 4 p.m. returned back to clean up and eat dinner…at a Pizza Hut where with 10 young hungry men (along with “some” of the leaders and girls), we managed to eat them out of house and shop. This outing was followed by a stop at Wal-Mart for more food, of course. We returned to our quarters where Kelly and Justin had a meaningful devotional closing for the day as we were all ready to hit the bed in nearly comatose state.
