Thursday, July 6th

Awesome day!! Most of us returned to Bea's house, and we finished installing the sheetrock!. Some sanding and mudding still needs to be done, but her walls are complete. She is jubilant, and as we walked thru her house with her at the end of the day Bea whirled around and shouted 'Halleluah!' She now has a huge smile, and is filled with hope. Bea's worry level has been lifted somewhat, she can see the light at the end of the tunnel. On our way home from Bea's we saw a rainbow - God's blessing to us.
The others stayed at Cliff's church and cleaned, built shelves in the storage building and did some yard work. Cliff and Neita are so appreciative that groups are coming into their community to help. Others in this church are appreciative as well. So much so, that a cajun dinner was prepared for us tonight. Absolutely delicious!! Quite a gathering.
At reflection tonight we all shared something we learned: how to do corner taping, using a drill, being patient with others, and that we really like our day jobs.
This trip has been another step in each our lives as we grow in faith with God, doing his will.
