Our work began today! Our job was to gut half of a duplex that was severely damaged by the hurricane. The family, the Phillips, are a terrific group of people, and we were happy to serve them today, and are glad that we can help them again tomorrow. Pam is a childcare provider, and jumped in with amazing enthusiasm. In the afternoon her brothers Donald and Daryl were there to lend helping hands, as well as her father, James. We tore down walls, took out the toilet and tub, and picked up the debris caused by the demolition. We toiled long and hard today and feel like we have really impacted their lives. We were treated to 'Snowballs,' a mix of snowcones and slushies. A very nice way to end the 93° work day, if we do say so ourselves.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures and updates :) I see that my prayer for no snowstorms is working!!!
Hi Y'all...
Looks like things are going well. Asher, you look like a natural construction worker in this picture. :)
I'll be looking for posts and praying for each of you as I make my way to PA and historic Philadelphia this week.
Keep up the great work. Remember Tony Campolo's message that it's up to us in the Body of Christ to eliminate suffering!
Peace,
Chris
