Nemo

This week we have been putting up sheet rock and spackling on project Nemo.  Not only did our group leaders take a bunch of high school and college kinds and teach them how to put up walls for the interior frame of a home, but we learned a lot from our homeowners as well.  

Aside from all the drills and spackle, the woman we were helping taught us what it means to have hope and faith.  She had everything taken away from her in the flood that swept through Rainelle, yet she welcomed a bunch of strangers into her home and heart as if we were her own family.  

Her strengths and trust in us and God has been an inspiration to me and the rest of our crew.  The whole ASP experience has taught me the importance of family and community by the way a diverse group of people have been able to work together to help those who truly need it.
