ABC Friends: It is “hump day” Wednesday of the week I’ve obligated myself to be at this Baptist Blitz Build. I’ve met Baptists from all around the country and am working with a team of folk from Canada. The best part is the enthusiasm of the folk for whom the homes are being built. The home I’m working on will go to a woman who is raising 4 of her 13 grandchildren. She is so excited that they will have a place to live that is their own. Excited that they will have a safe yard to play in—right outside the back door. Doing a bit for others is primarily what this is all about, but in the evenings there is time to a see a little bit of Louisiana—I’ve been too tired to do a lot of that yet. I recommend coming with friends. I’ve met friends from First Baptist Church, Chico, California here and we’ve had a great time. Sharing stories of our work and enjoying our dinners together. I can’t believe how much we’ve accomplished in just 2 and ½ days…many hands do make much work—can’t call it light these days! Thanks for your prayers and encouragement.
