Day 5 - Ashlyn Doner

Today was our final day working on Michelle and Summer’s house, we finished painting, sanding, and finishing up of final touches of our work that we did throughout the week. After we finished up our work at the house we went over to a “surprise” dinner at Bel and Jims house. Yesterday little Bel showed us some pictures of their house after the storm hit, everything in their house had to be redone, the house had to be lifted, and a lot of money had to be put in to rebuilding a house that they just fixed a few months earlier because of a fire. But today we saw the final product and it was a very beautiful house that they redid. Before the food came out Bel, Grace, Karin, and Emma made people started jumping into the pool after the hot day we spent working. The food was delicious and the trip to New Jersey was a great way to start my mission trip experience.
