Monday 8/6/2007

Today was the first day of our "Work"...We began by having a gathering this AM of all the mission groups in New Orleans. We got to see the huge group from Rochester/Buffalo NY who are staying at St Peter's UCC in the area, it was great to see and meet fellow UCC missionaires.

We then got assigned our jobs this week....Drywall. We have some mud, some taping and some finishing. It doesn't look like the most difficult job, but it will take alot of effort and the finesse of artist. It was about 104 during our working time, but everyone was drinking enough and eating granola bars!!

Dinner was provided the family of Little Farms UCC, and it was true Church supper in every sense of the word. We had Red Beans and Rice, Shrimp and Okra over Rice and Fried Chicken~WOW ( I didn't see any sauerkraut or shooefly pie~ maybe next time..

This has to be quick as PJ coffee shop is closing and kicking me out in two minutes...

I promise to write more tomorrow...

Be hope for one person Today!!
