Day Three: Mission Trip Update

Hello everyone, it’s Autumn in tonight for my dad. And no, it’s not because he’s injured, or sick, or anything else. He was just being nice!

Anyway, today was our first day of work. We left the hotel at 8:00, drove through rush hour traffic to Robin and Karen’s, and got right to work. Our first major project was scraping the paint off the outside of the house so we could prime and paint it. We finished scraping right around lunch time, then after we ate, we started priming. We are probably about halfway done. Also today, some of the guys got a start on hanging sheet rock. We also got a nice mid-afternoon treat, Robin had a guy with a snow cone trailer come to the house and he got us all snow cones. It was a nice, cool treat on a hot, sticky day!

An update on some of the people and sights from last year’s trip: The lady across the street is still living there. And she’s still as spunky as ever! Also, there are several more people living on Robin and Karen’s street. It is so nice to see people starting to come back to their homes!! Metarie (the town where we are staying) is also more lively this year. A lot more of the businesses are open and it seems like there is just more activity in the city in general.

Well, I think that about wraps it up for today! We’re all doing good, everybody is safe and healthy. Tomorrow, we should finish priming and will probably start painting. Please continue to pray for us!!
