The day's go by...

Team Sawzall (Kanda, Harold and Debbie) headed up to Ms. Donna's house today for another round of scaffolding and siding. They went up three levels on the scaffolding and kept finding more and more rotted siding. Ain't that always the way it goes? The sun was favorable, though, which was a good and bad thing. No rain, good, sunburns, bad. They also took an antenna down from the roof, fixed an electrical pole, primed the siding and enjoyed their lunch out on the porch swinging on the porch swing. All in all a productive day...with lots of laughter, I'm sure knowing this team!

Team Broken Drill Bits (Sammy, Jonathan, Joe, Michelle and Brittany) finished up the kick boards on the stairs and got started on the ramp at Captain John's. We are hoping that the inspectors that come through after all the work that went into the kick boards! Mr. Ben kept working on the railing and had a little help from Michelle. It's always nerve wracking to work when Ben is standing over your shoulder watching! We dug, sunk and leveled four posts and poured in the cement as well. There are many more posts to go! There were a lot of visitors at Captain John's today. His daughter and grand kids came by to say hi along with many friends. Amongst the work and the visitors, Sammy learned how to square dance. I have video...just haven't transferred it yet.

Tom D. from Mountains to Mississippi arrived today. It was good to see him after two years. His first question to me was "Are you ready to go to Haiti?". Their group has sent doctors to Haiti in the last few months and Tom is contemplating sending work crews. I'm not promising anything.

As usual, there are things that we are enjoying and things that we are struggling with. The tools are there, most of the time, but it's slow going at times. This trip we seem to be doing more people therapy as well. We know that God is working and are constantly praying that we are doing and saying the things that God asks us to do and say.
