The schedule for weekdays starts at 5am when the lights in the dorm room come on with breakfast at 5:15 and our morning meeting at 6. Then we move to the work sites and work from about 6:30 to about 2:00pm and then come back and SHOWER! At about 4pm we have a meeting to regroup and talk about what happened during the day. Afterwards is dinner and then we are free until the lights go out at 9:30pm.
This is the house that Beth, James, Ray, David, and I worked on today.
The people who will live in it when it is finished currently live in trailers that are on the other side of the yard.

This is some of the group at lunch... the lady standing behind david (the man in red) is the owner of the house
This is after i had to dig through the grout bag to find the tag that clogged the bag
This is a bank vault that is still standing next to the train tracks without the bank building.
This is a pool at the end of the road that Camp Coast Care is on, not exactly the most popular watering hole... all that is left of the house is a concrete slab.
For all who understand... i left home without my towel... literally and figuratively...

I found your blog very interesting and the work you are all doing is wonderful. We often forget that the struggles and hardships still continue. You are in my prayers this week. Safe journey, Bernie and all. The Ohio family
Hello good friends and fellow missionaries, tho in different places. I am praying for you daily...for strength to do the work God has called you to, for good humor to face the obstacles of the day, and a good and restful sleep for your minds and bodies. We love you! Please, can you remind us all of who is there?
Hello Friends! Pneumatic nail gun and no injury? Is that a record Beth?...Keep up the good (and injury free) work. You guys are the best...Blessings for you and those you are helping!
Love you...
Beth and all you brave souls,
I'm so proud of what you are accomplishing, we all should be!!! The pictures remind us of all the work that still needs to be done. All the families that need our help. I really wish I had been able to come...
From your resident Georgian - Here's a tip on adjusting the sweet tea if you haven't figured it out yet - Ask for 1/2 and 1/2 - 1/2 sweet, 1/2 unsweet. That should take care of it.
Also, make sure you get some biscuits (real biscuits) at some point - goodness knows you deserve them!
We're thinking about you!

You guys ROCK! What an adventure. It's hard to believe there is still so much to do in the Gulf area.You are all in Diane's and my prayers. Be safe and let the Holy Spirit do His magic through each of you.
PS. Beth, from the picture it looks like you got a good nap in at lunch!Way to Go!
The pictures really do help tell the story. I particularly like Elizabeth's "grout arm." Hope there is some break in the heat for you all. Thrilled to hear that there have been no injuries. Nail guns can be very dangerous. Peace and blessings to you all. Ray
