Today our crew mostly finished Mary Johnson’s house. Just need to grout some ceramic tile. We did lots of painting, carpentry and tile work. As we worked at Mary’s, we realized she had been the victim of bad contractor work–not volunteer–but people she had paid. We had great conversation with Mary. She cooked us a wonderful lunch today, including sweet potato-pecan pie: um! good! We have the recipe!
Once again blessings abound on the Gulf Coast. Working on Miss Ruby’s and Mary’s homes has been so rewarding and huge blessings for us. Although in conversation with them, they can’t thank us enough. Mary has fondly nicknamed Jim “Pops”, which I’m sure is going to stick with him for a while. We are having a great time here, but miss family and friends. The week has flown by so quickly, always so much to do. The progress from last year to this is unbelievable. It’s hard to believe we will be saying goodbye to some of our dear friends in D’Iberville.
This Mission Team has been so blessed by all of you who have helped make our trips possible. Thank you!

The day dawned cloudy with the threat of storms later in the day. The “A Team” (named by the homeowner Harry Pelous) was met on the job site by Harry. He had the tools lined up and was as ready to work as we were. We were siding his house. We hoped to get the majority of it done if the weather cooperated. The saw began to zing. The nail guns started to pop. Before the end of the day, the clouds started to thicken and thunder was heard in the distance. We finished the siding before the rain started. Harry said he had prayed for one more hour of dry weather to finish the job and God heard him. We heard him, too, in the joyous laughter and grateful thanks from Harry.
