If you have been "eagerly" checking this blog and not finding anything, it is partly because we have been in Weir, Mississippi. There was a tornado there on April 25 and 5 lives were lost and many homes were damaged. MDS asked the New Orleans unit for help so Rich and I along with 4 students from Hesston and CMU went to do some roofing. We tore off and replaced the front half of a roof on a mobile home in two and a half days. The girls had done roofing on other MDS sites and were good workers. You can see a picture of us at work and the finished job! The other picture is of the Community Center of the Millspring Missionary Baptist Church. Their church building beside it was totally destroyed. Now we are back in NO and are expecting a full week of work. We have permits for 4 houses and a large group of short term volunteers coming. Tomorrow we will go to a local Methodist Church and on a nature hike in the afternoon. Goodbye for now.
