Incredible week! Our team of eight men completed as much as we could in the two homes that were assigned to us. Nina's house was completely dry walled and received the first coat of mud. We also removed the old kitchen floor and rotten joists, raised it to level, rebuilt the floor and replaced the front door yesterday. I never got to meet Nina personally but one of her friends, Brenda, hung out with us all week. You could tell the appreciation from family and friends through Brenda's words and expressions. Prayerfully, funds will come in to complete Nina's home in the next couple of weeks. Pray for North Mission Builders (Sherrill & Claudia Calloway) as they see this task completed.
Our other home we worked on was owned by John Hayden. John has lived in his home for ten years and remains there even through the slow and tedious rebuild. On John's house, we were able to complete the dry walling and first coat of mud on the lower level, rewire some outlets and add some lighting. Yesterday, part of our team went back and added floor space to the second level. John was incredibly appreciative of the help we gave to rebuilding his home.
Our team would like to thank First Baptist Church, Ocean Springs and North Mission Builders for hosting us and giving us the opportunity to help in their community. It was a trip that each one of us will remember for a long time.
On our drive home... our car was reflecting about the week. No doubt the highlight of the trip was hanging out with different people and getting to know them better. I met some great people this week. I look forward to serving with them in the future.
