The work begins

After getting up early and having breakfast we raided the tool bins here and set out for our work sites, four in all.

Everyone had a very busy day and accomplished lots. Some of the things we did included interior finishing, tile laying, exterior caulking and painting, cement laying preparation, scraping paint, and fixing damaged wood siding. We are blessed with a great variety of tradespeople with assortment of skills.

Sid arrived today in his motor home and will add his skills to the team tomorrow: no wait, Sid stepped up and was the chief dishwasher after supper, so he has already been put to work.

Tuesday we expect to finish some projects and move onto new ones after that. It's nice to be able to help some folks get that much closer to having their homes finished. All of the homeowner had lost almost everything. One fellow, who was just retired, lost everything and now has to get a job to pay for the rebuilding of his house.

The young people are out playing football, amazing us with their energy.

In a little while we will be gathering for some devotions before heading to bed for some well deserved rest. To those of you who have sent the team a message and words of encouragement- Thank You.

Again, for those of you reading the blog ans following our trip here, you can drop us a line at team@lhcrcmissions.com

Your messages will be read to the rest of the team at the end of the day when we gather for devotions. (Carl)
