Before

















After
















The crew is in Louisiana! Here's our group: Dana Turner, Margaret Ann Dubose, Paul Palmer, Katie Dubose, Catherine Collins, Mary Margaret Collins, Dendy Steddenbenz, Alex Bowers, Thomas Weatherwax, and Isaac Viard. They battled some heavy rain to get to their destination, but made it safely on Sunday.

The above pictures show one of the work groups before the rain and after the rain from a storm on Monday! I'm not sure how many people there are total, but there are three work groups. Margaret Ann, Dana, Thomas and Katie are in one group. They have been working diligently to clean out the home of an elderly woman. She lives with no electricity and no running water. Her home is full of stuff, making it hard to move around in. Their group is trying to clear her home out to help make it more livable.

Catherine Collins is the team leader for one of the sites. Alex is with her and they are scraping and painting their home. Mary Margaret is also a team leader, and she's got Issac and Dendy on her team. They are doing a roof, and apparently it is quite steep. They finished the ridge today and hope to get most of the roof done tomorrow. They are also cutting back shrubbery and doing some cleaning.

They are staying at a really large Baptist church that has been a great host. The have the run of some really cool facilities. They are working really hard and having a good time while they do it. We'll have some more updates for you later on. Keep them in your prayers, that they work safely with joy and enthusiasm.

blessings,
dorian
