It has been awhile. Right now I am sitting outside at Te Church of the Living God in Galveston, Tx. The organization we worked with in Ms has been renamed Calvary 4 Christ, and they set up over here after Hurricane Ike. They had a shower trailer here that was placed here by Samaritains Purse. The first of Feb Samaritans Purse told them they were pulling the trailer. That prompted a call to Chris E. to see if we could get one built. We have spent the last five weeks putting one together. We had ProX Trailers in Mishawaka build us a trailer, and we used their facilty to customize the inside with five showers and a laundry room. Sunday night after I got off work Chris and I headed out from South Bend on a 22 hour trip to here to deliver the trailer.
We had our challenges along the way, like witnessing a car hitting a concrete barriar at 65 mph (no one was hurt), but we made it safely. Once we got here we unhooked and started getting it set up. We got the water hooked up and made sure that the water heater worked. Chris and I actually got the opportunity to take the first showers in it. Today we did some more finishing up, putting in soap dishes, hooks and getting the drain hooked up.
Today Vicky and Vance went out with us to give us a tour of the projects they have been working on. We also had lunch at Wille Gs (it was sooooo good, Chicken Ramone salad), and went to Lowes. I will try to get some pictures posted.
