Today is the second day. We woke up with sleepy eyes and journeyed towards our Habitat build site. Our friends from Habitat and a group of men from the Church og God Mennonites greeted us with smiling faces. After getting a warm introduction about the missions of Habitat in Tuscaloosa, we proceeded to install insulation to one of the homes. The insulation is made out of recycled blue jean material, so we are not only constructing a home, but we are also promoting environmental sustainability! After finishing the second layer of insulation in that home, we took an hour lunch break. Once our bellies were full from lunch, we put the second layer of insulation in another home! After clean up we headed back to the church to take much needed showers and get ready for dinner. We went to a local Mexican restaurant with a brief stop at a thrift store. After filling up on Mexican food we headed back to the church to dance with members of the community who are part of a ballroom dancing club! We displayed our skills (or lack of skills) for the dancing club, and we also learned some dances in the process! Our very own Lauren Longino even taught the teachers a fun line dance. We were very excited to be invited to the ballroom dancing hosted at the church. They were extremely happy to be able to teach us all of their dances. After the dance wrapped up, we played a few games and headed to bed for some much needed rest after a very long day.
