LAST WORK DAY!!!

Good morning Washington! Today was probably the hardest day to get up and out of bed. The girls in my room have gotten really comfortable with each other, so we were up super late last night doing the usual girly things. It seemed super fun at the time, but no effense to the girls, I am regretting it now! Just kidding, I love the girls in my room. The mission trip this year has been so awesome. We haven't had any major drama, no little cat fights; everyone has grown together as a group! It has been really cool.

We are leaving in about an hour to go to our work sites. I work at the home of Mr. Lu Grange. He is always around his house, so we have had the pleasure of getting to know him, along with his family too. My group at the site is Team Win, consisting of myself, Kirin Fostor, Grace Shinn, Courtney Davis, Tyler Foster, Nathan Laske, and "Big" Mike Clark. This group is by far the best work group I could ever ask for! At first I thought that the guys would go off and do their own thing leaving us girls to ourselves, but we have all grown so close. Some may argure that we are too comfortable together now, but it has been a blast. We even have a team cheer, so ask us to show you when we get home (: Besides the best group ever, I was also blessed with the best site supervisor ever too. Thad (his full name is Thadius Maximus!) has been so great with us. The first day, we split up boys and girls, and Thad took us girls to work with him. From the very beginning, he was super funny and friendly with us. And he has been more patient than we could even imagine. We have been working on putting up dry wall, which is EXTREMELY hard if you have never put it up. Us girls are pretty weak, so we struggled a lot with it at first, but he was always willing to help us at any time. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to him Wednesday because he had to switch houses with another person, but he will always be the coolest supervisor ever!
Last year, I honestly couldn't wait for the last work day to come, but this year I am kind of dreading it. I am going to miss my group and getting to work with them all day! But we have already planned some more missions for when we return, so you will see more of us(:

After working, we will come home, shower, eat dinner, and hang out until bedtime. Also sometime today, we will be delivering our secret pal final gift and revealing our cover to them. I have Jeff Baklund and he has NO idea, so this should be fun >:)

I have 2 minutes until devos and I haven't had breakfast yet! I will check in with you when I get home!

Love,
Katelyn Dilworth

  1. HI KATE!!! We love you so much and are so proud of the work you are doing. We are anxious for you to come home...but it sounds like you would be fine with staying longer. Glad your group has been so great and that you have accomplished so much. Grandpa would be happy to have you come help drywall on his next house project, I'm sure. You're a pro now! Enjoy this last day, your fun day tomorrow, and helping out on Sunday. Happy 4th! It won't be the same without you. See you soon. Love from all of us!!!
