shiners blog






Hi! This is Kaylyn and Saige. We have had a great day. We finished one side of the house were painting. The concrete was late, so it was a pretty chillin day until it finally arrived at 3. When we were just chillin , Alfonzo (one of the guys in the Nehemiah program) was carrying a glass door over his head and it broke and cracked his head open. He was taken to the hospital with minor injuries; keep him in your prayers for a quick recovery. With hard work were are hoping to get the concrete laid by tomorrow.

I, Kaylyn, thought when we went to see the kids in the projects on Monday was awesome. When Michele drove put the the court yard, before she even put the car in park, some kids jumped in and gave me a big hug. I thought it was cool!! Then later Saige and I were talking; and some teenage kids called us over. The very fist thing a teenage boy asked was if we had boyfriends. We told them no. Then they asked what we were doing in NO. Then they asked us for a dollar. When very one noticed we were over there, my mom (Karen) was going to come over, but then didn’t (but kept a sharp eye out). And we wanted to leave. So we said our moms were calling, which we didn’t know, but we vturnedaround and Michele was coming over to get us. We were so happy. Later on my mom said she was going to come over, but said we should get a taste of what there like. Jace said her was going to come over too. So, it was a fun day, and scary. Here’s Saiges favs.

My (Saige) favorite was working with the Nehemiah guys in the building we are working in. They came and did whatever needed to be done. They gave us a million sandwiches and a platter of pastries yesterday for lunch. Novelle taught us a new ‘secret handshake’ and how to snap. (Totally not gang related..I checked-Michele).
