Removing a fence around an acre or so of playground
We arrived to begin our 3 week project on January 26 at Epworth UMC on the west side of Phoenix. Our NOMADS crew consists of 2 couples from Michigan and 2 couples from Arkansas. We joked that we are well covered for medical emergencies due to having 2 nurses, a retired doctor along with a retired minister. We have had a lot of fun with this group of NOMADS both on the job and during off hours activities. We are keeping busy with several projects that were requested by the church, including; remove fencing around a playground, build new storage cabinets along the back wall of the fellowship hall, painting the fellowship hall and kitchen, removing a pond and making improvements in the memorial gardens area, relocating some electrical in the sanctuary, changing over 60 bulbs in light fixtures, power washing the building exteriors, etc.
During our off hours we had game nights (Mexican train Dominos), went out to eat together several times, and went hiking in the mountains twice.
Today we head to UMOM to meet with other NOMADS who are on projects in the area for a potluck lunch. It has been an enjoyable, rewarding time these first 2 weeks on our project.
