From John C



Guess what I did today!! Well first, Sunday I fell and really really hurt my left wrist, bummer right? Yes, and no, i go to help Mr. Linquist go around town and do errands so that was fun. So today..... we all got a lot of work done, from painting rooms, to digging, or getting a lot done for the communications phase 1 project with putting PVC pipe on walls. Then I ventured down the hill to where we were hearing music and seeing smoke. They just finished killing a pig, and were then taking the hair off. And I was like, "Hey, I can do that," so I did a little hair removal. Then after they cut the pig's belly wide open, that's when I really got my hands dirty from helping cracking it's ribs open and from holding it's detached, skinned head. Mainly, I cut up the skin into little pieces to be cooked. I think it was safe to say it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Alright, so. Cool. The rest of the week should be chill.

John, that's just nasty-looking! I am quite impressed that you were willing to step in and take part of this particular chore. It is a new experience for sure!

Oh, John - only you, bud, only you...! (LOL) Seriously, though, your enthusiasm about pitching in and helping in all things--even as messy as butchering a pig--is a joy to behold and an inspiration to all!
