Good news!!!

Today was Waffle House day. We headed out for a special "treat" this morning...which made Team Plant the Posts late to work. That didn't stop us from working hard though! Ben and Tom arrived and we were well into our work. Ben noticed on the way down Captain John's driveway that there were some stickers on the permit sign at the front of the driveway. He hiked back out to check it out and then yelled back to Captain John "Order your furniture!". These green stickers mean that the house has passed inspection! It was a goose bump kind of moment. There is only one issue with the heating and air conditioning unit that needs to be figured out, but that doesn't need to be fixed before he can move in. Hopefully the furniture comes before we leave so we can help with that process.

The good news continued as Team Plant the Posts got on a roll. We placed 7 posts in 4 hours! Yes! We have the outline of the ramp and will hopefully be placing planks on it tomorrow. Hallelujah! Ben can't seem to stay away and has to get his hands in the work as well. Don't tell him, but we like having him around too.
Team Sawzall finished up their work at Ms. Donna's today. They arrived to a beautiful note of Thanks from Ms. Donna and were able to say their goodbyes before leaving the site. The siding has been replaced, the vents fixed and both sides of the house that needed to be painted are done. It's looking good over at Ms. Donna's house!Team Sawzall will join up with Team Plant the Posts tomorrow and will be installing shelving at Captain John's house. It will only be a half days work though, cuz Ben and Tom have requested our presence at a Crawfish boil at Ben's house. It promises to be a fun afternoon!

Please pray for the team in the next couple of days, that we can be efficient with our time, accomplish more than we anticipate and that we will be the light that God desires us to be to those we work for and with. We're tired after the week and the excitement of last night. Here are the promised pictures from last nights celebration. Harold created the "award" himself...not sure it's gonna make it home on the plane with the doorknob, screws, latch and all the various items on it. Might have to leave it for someone else to be "awarded" with! The tiara and the scepter are a nice touch, no? They even light up!
