Rain, Rain, Go Away

Above: I'm the one on the right.  This was taken at the infirmary with a team member from the first group and our friend Patricia, who is a resident at the infirmary.
 
Hey guys! I'm Kelsey. As this is my first blog, it contains my profile so that you can get to know me a bit better.Before I do that though, I would just like to give a little shout-out to my church, The Crossing (in Columbia, Missouri). They are down here right now with us and have been awesome despite the awful weather we have had. Even though we have had rain non-stop for the past 76 hours, this team has kept their spirits high AND completed three houses on time! Way to go.
