Clifton's blog:
Two of the six projects were completed Wednesday afternoon. Those crews will be reassigned to a new job starting Thursday morning.

The missioners had a shortened work day. Why? It’s hump day, the middle of the work week (only two work days remaining-yikes!) and the day we take a trip to Kingsport, TN. At 4 pm, we all loaded into cars and drove the 30 miles to the Kingsport and visited the Wal-mart to ‘power shop’. Power shopping is characterized by a 15-20 minutes mad dash to get selected personal items or goodies for the buddy bags.

After Wal-mart, we headed over to Warpath Bowling. We invaded the local lanes for two fast games of bowling. The Warpath has a wild color scheme and after the first couple of frames, the blue lights were turned on and we began to ’cosmic bowl’.

Pizza Hut was the next stop for our 54 hunger hungry missioners . As we walked in the door, the staff was setting up our pizza bar. Our party occupied 2/3 of the setting area and the din of hungry young voices soon began to drown out all other sounds in the restaurant. We consumed 27 pizzas in the restaurant and for the first time, we did not bring any pizza home. There will be a few disappointed tummies in the morning when there is no pizza available for breakfast.
Tomorrow morning is our annual pancake breakfast. The adults wake up early to prepare apple sauce pancakes.
On a personal note, my tire did have a nail that caused the flat. I purchased a kit and will repair it on the work site Thursday morning.
