Today was our first day of work in the Gulf. The weather was great, the sun was shining, and after an early breakfast we hit the ground running. 12 of our 27 are staying and working in Biloxi.
Today they set subfloor for a new house build, painted sub-flooring, and prepaired a storage pod for a new house build job site. (We will get some pictures from them soon). The rest of 27 (15) are staying in Pass Christian and working in the Pass Christian / Gulf Port area. Today this group drywalled, dug holes for an air conditioner platform, installed vinyl siding, framed a garage, put tin on a roof and it was only day one! The group worked hard and had fun with each other.
As we gathered tonight to reflect on our day we were struck by the amount of work that still needs to be done here in the Gulf region. This summer will mark three years post Katrina, but the work needing to be done is still plentiful. There are so many people that are in need of work and encouragement. We are eager to see how God will use us in the rest of the week to help meet the needs of others, and change us in the process. There is so much more to write, but we are tired and ready for bed. We look forward to tomorrow's adventure!
