We are half way through our week and it has been great so far. We are staying at the Franklin Avenue Baptist Church which is in the ninth ward, one of the hardest hit areas. We are working on houses within walking distance in the surrounding area. It has been pretty hot, but that’s what you would expect in July down here. Clayton and Trish are working on trim in one of the houses that is nearing completion. The rest of the team is working at another sight. We are recyling wood siding from a condemned house and installing it on another. Recycling means Amanda and Brina have been sanding the old paint off the boards before Mike and Sri nail it up. We should finish closing in the house tomorrow. We have met some of the neighbors and it has been pretty cool to hear some of their stories. Samritan’s Purse is very well respected in the neighborhood so we have been treated very well by the community. Thanks for your prayers and please continue to pray for us. Blessings to you.
