Beds, Pizza, and a New Vocabulary

Greetings to our friends & families of the north!

Today we embarked on many endeavors from multiple areas within the land of Mississippi. After lunch, six of us delivered 11 beds to some homes today with the help of some of the guys from down here. Both crews had some very excited children who wanted to help get their beds ready, so we had some great little helpers!

The other group for today continued to power through bed-making and we got 50+ beds done in each of our first 2 days. I’d say that’s some good soup (but not literal soup)! At the end of our work day, we had a delightful pizza dinner and learned some fun new sayings from the pastor (some of which are listed below).

A few of the new word terminology’s we’ve learned are as follows: “full as a tick on a cur-dog” (aka a stray dog), “the crud,” “working as hard as a government rented mule,” and “fine and dandy,” “yur’n,” “spadge,” “slugs/slug-burger,” and “y’all”… We hope y’all enjoy some of the fine new vocab we may take home with us!

Farewell for now & we’ll see y’all next time!
