Wednesday Morning

Hello Everyone! We had a good day yesterday, working at the site, plus we had "Kitchen Duty" here at Lagniappe. No, we did not get extra food from that, but we did have to wash pans, clean the tables, put away food, and sweep. That occurred after all three meals, plus three of us served dinner from 5:30-6:30. In spite of the extra time w kitchen duty we accomplished quite a bit of drywalling at Miss Delta's house.

Today we hope to put in an extra full day at Delta's, hoping that we can wrap up there tomorrow, or early Friday morning at the latest. We still need to finish drywalling, then put in floor tile underlayment in the kitchen and bathroom. Our less experienced people are getting pretty good at fitting up drywall!

One last thing - Some of you know Scott gives out a "Gumby of the Day" award each day to the team member who exhibits the most flexibility and/or a servant attitude. The first award went to Cristian Spencer for the trip down, since he had to deal with anxiousness over his dad losing two tires on their car. (Cristian was in the big van when the first tire went bad.) On Monday the award went to Dustin Potteiger for putting up with major harrassment (good-hearted teasing) from the rest of the team on the work site, and for pitching in to do numerous things without being asked. Yesterday we had co-winners of sorts: Lisa Mueller, who is battling sickness, yet who still went out to Delta's with us, and Jerry Styer, who quietly washed up more pans in the kitchen than any volunteer should have to do! (He snuck in to wash up pans while the rest of us were waiting around for dinner to start.)

Please pray for safety today, and for openness to the Lord's leading to keep "people over projects." All of the teams will be going out for dinner tonight, so we want to be aware of anyone we might be able to encourage w the hope and joy of the gospel. Check back later tonight or tomorrow early am for more pictures. We hope you liked the video of our custom doorway! It took so long to upload that we ran out of time to upload more pictures yesterday before dinner duty called.
