From Mississippi!

Well, here is the first official update from Mississippi. We got here around 6:15 on Sat night. Had a pretty good trip except the A/C in the bus was not working. They hope to get someone out to look at it tomorrow. It will be a rough trip home unless they get it fixed. We have had temps in the mid 80's about every day. It got real chilly last night because it was around 50 this morning. Work has been good. We have split into about 3 or 4 groups doing anything from roofing, electrical, drywall, and insulation. There is always plenty of ribbing and teasing about which crew works the hardest etc. The destruction is still incredible even after several months. It will be years until all the restoration is complete. Curfew is 10:00 in the sleeping house with lights out at 10:30. I am really rushing this post. I might have time for a picture or two but the connection is way slow compared to my high speed at home. The first picture shows a little damage. The second pic is of Elizabeth. She is a super nice lady that is so appreciative of what we are doing. She would love to have us come down and visit sometime. Well gotta go. Perhaps more tomorrow night. Your continued prayers are much appreciated!
