Start in Mobile, Al

I feel so lonely right now. I am now in Mobile, AL working with Habitat for Humanities building houses. I really like doing this work because I can see what I am doing actually helping people. Habitat only gives houses to people who are in need, but it is not a handout. The families have to be able to make the down payment of $500 and rent $300 a month. But these houses are really nice. Yesterday I put the framing of a house done and then today I finished up two houses so that now the families can move in. So today I did little things around the houses like finish painting, fixing the door, cocking, and putting up a mirror. I really had fun. I was so proud of myself when I was working on the door. They just told me to fix it because it did not lock so I had to figure out how to fix it and then work on it. And I did it all by myself. I am enjoying my project but I am not really getting along with my team. I mean they talk to me but we never really hangout or really know me. My best friend on the team has left so I feel so left out of a lot of things. But I am trying to get them to include me by when ever I hear them say lets do this by saying can I come.

So I am living in a POD right now for the next 9 months. The POD is made out of cardboard foam. Its not as nice as our trailers last round. I am sharing it with 2 other girls so it is very crowded in our POD. I will let you know more about the PODs later.
