Number 1) The relaxing schedule-you get a full 30 minutes between 6:30 AM and 7:30 PM that is not devoted to eating or working (I usually take a shower).
Number 2) It’s Diet friendly! While you eat 3500 calories a day, you work most of it off as you go.
Number 3) The luxurious accommodations- between the bunk beds, the cold showers, and the bathrooms in a different building from both the bedroom and the kitchen, when you get home, you’re living in the lap of luxury.
Number 4) the scintillating nightlife-between checking in at 10:00, and the long discussions on the Canadian tax code and the US national debt, we own the night.
Number 5) Meeting Canadians-enough said. Did you know that the Maple Leaf flag dates back to only 1967?
Number 6) Free publicity-we were interviewed by a reporter from the Wall Street Journal today-here is the official Wall Street Journal photographer at work.
Number 7) Learning new skills-from crawling in attics putting in insulation, to crawling on floors, scraping off old varnish, to crawling under floors, in dirt and other things, our boundaries are always stretched.
Number 8) Seeing new sights-the Bayous, the mighty Mississippi , the ‘wrong’ side of the tracks in New Iberia, and wildlife-frogs, lizards, dogs, birds, and the stray snake.
Number 9) New stories-friends who share things you never new before, new friends who have wonderful adventures. People we have known for twenty years can still surprise us.
Number 10) helping people in need, connecting to new children of God, getting to know them, and the satisfaction of service (Mr. Green, owner of the home I'm working on).
