Edmonton Day 2

Today we finished up our second day of work at the Habitat for Humanity worksite.  We continued where we left off from yesterday, that is, framing and drywalling mostly.  At the end of the day, the CEO of Habitat Edmonton (Alfred Nickel) came to see us and thank us for all the work we did.  He explained how the Habitat system works for people, and encouraged us to continue living a life of service.
Lunch break!
Cara and Miranda were given tools. Scary!
After supper, we went to an apartment block in the inner core of Edmonton where we met children of recent immigrants to Canada.  Most of the families were refugees from more violent and dangerous parts of the world.  We played games, read stories, and learned origami from Mega (I think the most popular part of the evening.)

Julian read a story to Sunny.

Jordan led the boys in a game of Dutch Blitz.

Now we are back in the church, journalling and generally resting from a busy and full day.  Tomorrow we are working at Hope Mission serving in the soup kitchen.
