After driving six hours yesterday (with NO STOPS!) to get to Hosanna, we arrived safe and sound last night and got a great night's rest to prep for our week. This morning, we met Emily and Amy - two Hosanna staff members - in the chapel to start our work week. They did a morning devotion with our group and then Amy gave us a tour of the campus along with some history and background of Hosanna as an organization.
We then spent much of the day with Amy and Emily in Hosanna's learning center, where they trained our group on how to use many of the tools that we'll be needing in the field this week. Everyone got a try on the circular saw, and we got to practice hammering nails for our decking project tomorrow. Then the group was taught how to lay shingles on the simulated roof that Hosanna had in the learning center. We'll be getting to that roof project later this week!
After our morning and early afternoon training, we helped the staff move some lumber and odds and ends around campus, and then helped unload the truck at the warehouse and re-load it for our work tomorrow. We had a delicious taco dinner followed by small groups and worship together. It was an awesome day. We're all looking forward to tomorrow when we can get out in the field and put everything we learned to good use!
