Another great week at Antiochia! The highlight of my week at the site was hitting floor in our trench, and getting to move from moving large amounts of dirt to working with trowels. It was fun finally reaching our goal and seeing all of the progress we had made....

This last week my room learned that waking up at 5 in the morning is made significantly less pleasant by using “Heigh-ho” from Disney’s Snow White as your alarm. You may not know this – none of us did – but the song begins with a chorus...
