First Week

We left the Phoenix area Tuesday morning, it was about 90 degrees.  Spent the first couple of nights in Cottonwood AZ visiting with my cousin, Barbara and Clyde.  Got to Amarillo on Thursday afternoon - it was 34 degrees!  Sent the bodies into shock!!! Even the girls didn't want to go out!  Got to Cave Springs AR (just outside Fayetteville) at an RV & Golf Resort, near our friends Janice and Lloyd.  Had dinner with them last night and we went shopping today while Bill had lunch with his brother.  Had a few small (big???!!!) problems along the way with the coach and car, but we just said "Oh, Well" and dealt with them.

  This was our radar at 6:38 this morning.  Palestine is left center on the screen.  Praise God it missed us.  We didn't even have any wind or rain from the hurricane.  Many of the guests who evacuated from Beaumont have returned to their homes.  Some have stayed on.  God is so good!

Hurricane Laura

 We have been preparing rooms for up to nearly 300 evacuees from Hurricane Laura.  Mostly from Beaumont and the Houston area.  She is scheduled to hit tonight, and we are grateful that these people were able to get out.  Many are from Assisted Living homes.  Some came in ambulances.  Some drove all night.  Some came with their belongings in U-Hauls, at least one family brought a hospital bed, another has a generator in the back of their truck.  This is real life, folks.  It is so rewarding to be able to help in this situation, and we thank God that we are here.  Please pray for us that we will be shining examples of ambassadors for Christ.   It has been hot and humid, so it's very difficult to work outside except early morning, just like in Arizona, except we aren't used to the humidity again. Today is Coco's 13th birthday!  She is still going strong.  Bitsy is just Bitsy! She was moping the other day because she knew we were leaving for a little while to work.  I got this

First work week completed

Our first week is finished and we have somewhat recuperated.  We work Monday through Thursday from 8 to 4.  This may not seem like much to most of you, but we are all OLD!!!  We enjoy what we do but we work intensely.  The house we are working on was pretty much destroyed.  It would have seemed easier to have leveled it and built new, but the cost would have been much more, so we are doing what we can to get the homeowner back in her home.  Bill installed a new toilet and bathroom door, did some electrical work. I removed some floor tiles. He and I hung sheetrock.  I started mudding the sheetrock.  Other team members removed some rotting flooring and replaced the plywood.  I learned how to remove popcorn ceiling.  This is a depressed area, many homeless here, possibly because of the many hurricanes and they cannot afford to go somewhere else.  The church where we are staying has a meal on Monday night, and about half were homeless.  They eat what they want and take what they want.  N
