After a long week of cold weather and a weekend of storms, the sun is finally shining again in Newbern. We started the day off with our normal Monday morning weekly meeting to plan what everyone is going to be working on all week. Then all the groups split up and began working on their individual tasks. We headed out to the site to finish sorting through all the members of the church and placing them in organized piles according to walls. It was so nice to be back outside working rather than sitting in the Red Barn working on the computer. Everyone was in great moods, getting a lot accomplished and enjoying the warm sunshine until word traveled to us about the shootings on Virginia Tech’s campus. We were all shocked and saddened to hear of this horrible massacre. After we left the site, many of us tried to enjoy the rest of the beautiful day and went running and threw the football before having to work on our amazing watercolor paintings.
