Friday

We had a very productive day at Howard and Helen's house. We all dug deep to get at much finished as possible. Rudy's team joined us which was a huge help. Scott jumped right in and dry walled a complete room with himself, Michael and Mack. Here is an example of what our team accomplished today.

It was an emotional day because we didn't do everything we "wanted" to accomplish. Good people like Howard and Helen have gone almost three years without a home. We all wanted to do everything we could to shorten their wait. The promised FEMA money is slow in coming. The crooked contractors bilking people of thousands of dollars is infuriating. The cook in our camp was taken for $40,000. I was talking to a gentleman today that told me that there are 30,000+ people waiting for a home. The stories go on and on. The need is so great and it is hard to watch.

If you have any desire to do the Lord's work, please consider the people of New Orleans. Almost three years without a home is enough.

We had a chance to pray with Howard and Helen before we left. It was awesome!
