DAY 7


We wrapped up our week here tired, but gratified by the work we've done, appreciative of the support we've received from A Future With Hope, Bethany St. John's and Crosskeys UMC and enriched by the interaction with our client, Arlene and the bonds that developed among your team members.  We've found ways to help each other work through our problems and challenges, and all shared in the various tasks required at Arlene's and at our host church.


The three key projects we worked on today were installing drywall underneath the first floor stairwell, building a new step at the second floor landing (which will have laminated wood flooring installed over it) and assembling all but one of the IKEA kitchen cabinets, plus all of the drawers.


To celebrate our week we treated ourselves to excellent seafood at the same restaurant in Somers Point where we went in 2014.    We noticed a for-sale sign on an old two-story house across the street, facing the harbor.    Out of curiousity, Kelly looked up in his cell phone the asking price: $395,000, down from $599,000.   The price seemed pretty steep, but the house had docking space for five boats.   We thought that perhaps Farmington 1st could buy it as a permanent place for future mission teams to use.


We thank all of you again for your support and prayers, and look forward to sharing with you more of our experiences after our return tomorrow.
