I have been so busy since the team got here. Saturday the Brothers, the Dobroats, and I went to Puppy and Sunshine's house to prep the footer so that we could pour it Monday. We then came back and convined in the Builders of Hope command center, aka the Schaffers camper, to discuss work teams and job assignments. One of the teen vans experienced a flat tire in Alabama (of course). The were able to limp along until they got to a service center to get it repaired. They finally got in about 10:45, I got to reunite with my family,both biological and spiritual.
Sunday morning Leigh and I got up and drove around to look at all the places we are working on this week. We then went to breakfast at IHOP, went back to camp to meet up with the rest of the group. While waiting we saw Chris McCrutchen, who ran the work teams down here untill October of last year, and caught up with him. We then lead the group to Pass Road Baptist where we worshipped. The message was on God openning doors, and very appropo to what we are doing.The homeowners I am working for came to church also.
After church we went to CiCi's for lunch. After that we caravaned over to St Bernards, and the lower 9th ward. We also went by the Franklin Avenue Baptist church that a group of guys from RVC gutted in Dec of 05. After that some of the group dove over to the French Quarter. Our part of the group got back to the camp about 8:30 where the first ones back had hamburgers, hot dogs, potato and Macaroni saad waiting for us. The last group straggled in about 9p. We then went throught the camp orientation that was put on by Vicki. After that we went over work teams and assignments for Monday.
We also got some bad news that night. Mike Schaffer's two sisters that lived in Alanta were in a serious car accident and one of them was in very crittical condition. She passed away about 7a local time Monday. Needless to say the Schaffers were very discombobulated. They left Tuesday to go to Alanta.
