Well, it was a soggy day but a productive day! We worked today on a Victorian home built in the mid 1800s that had a fire 5 years ago and then had over 5 feet of water during the hurricane. Another group had started demo last week and we were able to continue the process...warped boards, sheetrock, NASTY carpet, paneling, linoluem, etc....all carted out to the curb! Any debris in the street the city will take care of, so we placed all our demo debris right in front of the curb!
The rain has finally subsided this afternoon but it is still overcast and cool--we were thankful for the breeze! We see the devastation around us, and we see the heaviness that weighs on the people. We are grateful that God has called us to serve and we pray that we will be a beacon of light to all we with whom we come in contact.
Tonight we have debrief and dinner...and a rumored time of karaoke! We'll see! :)
Tomorrow morning we will be up early and off to work again!
For the nations,
Kristen
