Okay, so obviously my blog isn’t going to be as interesting as Beckloff’s blog. If you haven’t read it yet, you must go back and read it first.
Today was a very taxing day for all. We got a lot of work done at Hannah's! It looks completely different tonight than it did this morning when we started. I never knew that I was a painter...until today! We broke into groups this morning, each with a different leader. Larry Thurn was team leader of painting and room design of course; Scott Sterling was in charge of landscaping (what else?) Ray Valdivia was head of the tiling team and Mike Stiles was in charge of electricity, plumbing and the window breaker (Dave Beckloff...seriously, that was his job.)
The teamwork today was amazing. Everyone worked together extremely well and got a lot accomplished. I had the opportunity to work with several different groups today. Mandy Tipton and I painted the bathroom and we accidentally painted the grout line between the tile and the wall…we didn’t know any better…oh well! Emily Tipton and I painted the wall at the entrance of Hannah’s. It was burgundy, and by the time we were through we were completely covered with paint. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed getting to know the two of them.
That is one of the best things about this trip. Not only are we helping the people of Peru, but we are forming some great relationships on the way. The camaraderie makes the work much more bearable. This evening we all sat around laughing hysterically while Beckloff wrote his blog. You’d have to be here to understand…

Neat, Jana! Gosh, I can't wait to hear all of your stories...Awesome! Miss you here!
We can hardly wait for you to get home and paint!!! Kidding! We have read all of the blogs and cried, laughed and lamented on how great God is. We are proud of the way you are allowing God to work through you (and all the other Gateway team members). Proverbs 22:6. Love you!! Mom & Dad
So, you're becoming a painter... Hmmm... we're painting our student building next week! Just kidding. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well and having fun too (that's important!). You and your team are in my prayers. Enjoy each and every day of your trip. Love, Kacey
