Tuesday in Abbeville

Louisiana ~ May 2007
God is good - All the time!

Once again we headed to the same work sites as yesterday, so here's an update:

Group 1 - "Team Brett" (Brett, Brook O., Jessica, Alan, Jim, & Cathy) finished sheetrocking and began the mudding process today....a little mud here....a little mud there - what fun! Learning something new - the sanding comes tomorrow! Roland & Hilda (the homeowners) are great people and are so glad to have us there as they have not seen any help in about a year!

Group 2 - Erica, Will, Andy, Katie, Brooke A., Carol, & Sue completed their paint job and moved on to another painting location (Delta's house) - they're learning the value of each individual job in these homes. The folks down here have been out of their homes for 2 years now and so appreciate all the help that comes their way, even though it may seem to us as if they can do this on their own - it has been such a long process for them and it's great to be a part of helping them get back in their own home!

Group 3 - Casey, Jessie, Chris, & Tom had a frustrating beginning but finished the soffet job and have moved on to siding a home and will be at it the rest of the week!

There is often so much beyond just the work that goes on during mission trips that ties and produces growth - we're just beginning to see those things, so pray for continued safety, for open eyes & hearts to see these growth opportunities, and ways for us to be Jesus Christ to any and everyone we encounter!
