USA MISSION TRIP!
 
Hey everyone, I'm here sitting in this youth hall in some small town in Pennsylvania.  I think its called Kennett Square.  Its like any other town in the USA, cause it has a WALMART and McDonald's.  Anyway Linda and myself would like to tell "ya'll" how its been. 
 
The first week of outreach slash vacation was great.  We slept in to about 10'oclock and went to bed around 3 am after playing Halo for about 6 hours!!!!!  Anyways we did a cool VBS or vacation Bible School for those of you not familiar with this term.   We played games and hung around some cool kids and just helped out doing some cool stuff.  Anyways during the day, we either went to the BEACH, or we became professional masons.  Not the evil kind but the kind that work with rocks.  We put up about 10000000000 rocks..  Or maybe 100 I don;t know.....  Anyways We were in Jason McSchulers home town and all his friends are really cool. ^The whole town was very hospitamable. 

for the update for the current week....  Linda will let you know...

Ok, so Jon has given me the sacred honor of writing in his blog...WOW, I must do it justice.  So here is what happened this week.  We have been flexing our muscles, developing new ones, draining any fluid intake through our pores and playing around with power tools at our "Good Neighbor's Work Camp" Project Site.  So, what in the world am I talking about, you ask...well, we are rebuiding parts of Snow Walshe's broken down home, making it safe for her to live in.  We dug 9 feet long and 3 feet wide of soil, hacking through 3 inch (rebellious) roots and have already built a foundation and 10 steps for the stair way to her back garden...Jon has been the superstar at creating the "Retaining Wall" (whatever the heck that means)...Basically, he has been the right hand man to Tom (the expert) and has created a wall from the ground up, 8ft tall, and 30 ft wide which will support the brand new porch that he will be constructing for Snow tomorrow.  As you can imagin, she lives up on a hill... :o)  So our projects will be done at the end of the week, more updates to come.  Some other exciting news, we announced to all the 50 some odd young ladies participating in GNWC that Jon is Single and available!!  YES, we have had to push all the screaming chicks away.  tomorrow, he will be singing a solo (well, he was crazy enough to ask me to join him...pray, hard, for me...:o) with his guitar tomorrow...crap, if all the female attention he's getting now just wasnt enought!!!  Well, Gillian and I will have to be working overtime after tomorrow night!!  Hahaha Nah, it is going to be a blast!  Well, our arms are tired from all the work, and our backs are aching...we must go to bed...Love you all!!....
 
 
THat was Linda, a girl... Can you guess by the length!!!  Anyways we are all having a great time!!!!!
 
See you soon, and remember to tell your 23-27 year old guy friends about Linda!!!!  She is also single, but 14 year old guys at this camp are a little young.....
 
Thats it I'll give you all the lowdown I get back.....  P.S.  Don't tell my parents I can build things because they'll make me work at home!
