Workday 1
Hello friends,
Karen gave a good overview of our work today. Temp was 92 plus but not too bad Had a little rain off and on but again not bad.
We started our day at 7:30 a.m. with group worship. Breakfast and dressed ready to start work.
At each home we formed a group circle and said a prayer for the people who owned the home and their family. We also prayed for a safe day and that God be with us as we did his work. Some of the homes were overwhelmed with stuff. The smell was unbelievable and a mask was necessary. We did work hard but we could handle what we set out to do. Our job was "mud out" and believe me if it were my home I could not have done the job. Thank goodness people help people. After we completed our project we again formed a group circle and said a prayer.
I love having the experience with the three oldest grandkids. They have a positive attitude, work hard, although the boys still wear thier pants too low. I'm proud of them for being here. More later.
Love and Hugs,
Susan

I am so glad to hear that you start and end the work day with prayer. It must make the work go easier knowing that you are doing God's work and that He is there with you. Does it seem that whole streets are uninhabited or just some of the houses need to be Mudded out? It must be very emotional to see these houses filled with ruined belongings. Are there many children in the neighborhoods? God bless your work this week.

I really enjoy being out here and helping out and appreciate the opportunity that you have given me here. As a side note, I don't wear my pants too low! They are just right! My brother on the other hand...
Keep up the good work! The opportunity you have provided for others to help is a great thing. It just goes to show that when all is said and done, material things can't last forever, and our focus needs to be on the things of most importance in this life. I hope all goes well. Keep everyone safe and enjoy each other.
