More From New York

From Little Kim: Everything is going fine. We are doing de-construction work - we were tearing down concrete columns,ceiling tiles and wallpaper on the 5th floor Thursday and Friday. And some of the evenings we have gone as a group walking around the area (don't worry, we are a group and things are fine). Today Neil picked us up in his van and drove us to Ground Zero, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, 5th and 6th street (where all the ritzy people shop, including Tiffanys! Katie was thrilled), a beautiful old catholic church with beautiful stained glass windows, and Trump Towers! We are going to early morning church service, having a nice Easter brunch, (one of the metro staff drove Vanessa and i to a huge grocery store which was much better). We are just now decorating Easter eggs and some of the metro staff have joined us as well; they haven't decorated Easter eggs in years. Ryan and Steve came to share with us last night; they are very tired but excited to be here. We all take turns helping out with the meals and cleaning up. Monday some of the staff are taking us to places that tourists usually don't go. We were supposed to work Monday morning but we are going too fast for the maintenance guy here. They can't believe how great this team works. Then Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we work from 9 am to 5:30. Friday the students go on sidewalk Sunday school till late at night, then Saturday is the huge Saturday Sunday school. So a few full days ahead of us. We are getting muscles from the sledgehammering! We have an Awesome TEAM!
