Our day started out a little slow this morning....both the students and the adults are beginning to feel the affects of our long days of hard work. After a breakfast of eggs and bacon, we all climbed aboard the bus.....and promptly fell back asleep!
We had teams at several locations again today.
A group stayed behind at the church to continue building the shed...
Rob and Nathan Burchill continued their work at "Gloria's" house...when they are completely finished with their job of laying carpet, hanging doors and doing the trim finishing, the church will be able to have a new Bible study started. (Incidently, this house is directly across the street from "Ya-Ya's Auto Repair".....it's a happening street with alot of curious onlookers who will
hopefully find their way into these doors)
(These are yesterdays pics from our lunch at Ya-Ya's....many of these same people are the ones who will attend Gloria's Bible study...this is a very hospitable community.)
(Prayer in the street at Ya-Ya's)
The largest team of students spent the day gutting out a house....
The team was put on a break schedule during the demo....every 30 minutes there was a 10 minute break....
Nate won the "hard worker of the day" award!
Randy, Steve, Terri, and Kaitlyn went to "Butch's" house to work on putting a new shower in for his family. We found the bathroom was alot smaller than we anticipated, so while the guys worked in the bathroom, the girls spent time with Butch's wife, children, and grandchildren...hearing their "Katrina story".
It was a really long day...but a rewarding one. It took seconds for everyone to return to sleep on the bus ride home!!!
Amber said, "today brought me back to our trip 2 years ago....seeing people's lives frozen in place...and the smell of mold. But it was awesome to help people in that way and use my beastly demo-skills!!!!"
Syd thought today was "extremely sad to see a person's past life be demolished, however it was a good team-bonding experience!"

HI Terri, Nick and Alex!
We love and miss you here at home, but are glad for the hard work you are doing to help those poor folks down there. Terri...stay away from the MOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emma has been busy going from one cousin to another...today at Becky's, but home again with us tonight. Last night she, Hayden and Eden had fun at Dad's expense! We came home from the Barnstormers' game to a "visiter" in our kitchen! scary!!! I think Dad took a picture!
What time do you get back to the church on Sunday?
Praying that those quick snoozes will add up to give you all strength for the rest of the days. Thanks for your hard work.
Love you! Sharon/Mom/Grandma
What a privilege and joy it is to pray for each of you as you serve God in such a tangible way. The locals in New Orleans are watching you and seeing Jesus with skin on. I check the website each day to see the faces of those whom I am lifting in prayer and today I found a tired bunch of workers for Christ and it brings a smile to see all the effort each of you are putting into your work. I pray that you will be blessed as much as you are blessing those around you.
In Christ,
