RE: NOLA10- the first work day

Hi all,  
I replied to your first e-mail but put it in a draft and couldn't find it again.  In short it was about being thankful for your safe travel and getting the whole team together.  
Next was a picture of Molly and I watching a Wild game.  She's a sweet, happy girl and makes,sure the squirrels and neighbor cats don't come too close to my patio door.  She barks at them and I tell her to get'm and what a good girl she is. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜Š.  Blessings to all of you and your recipients.   Molly and Kathy

PS I think Molly is a bit lonesome for her family as she really likes to cuddle๐Ÿ˜

Subject: NOLA10- the first work day

So everything was going fine.  And then Bob called.  It was around midnight:30 and he was down the road, but couldn't find us.  He was about a mile away.  5 minutes later he was unpacking his trunk and getting ready for bed.  Our team is complete.  

The start of the work day:

We have three teams working.  

Jon's team-  Working on a trailer house.  Replacing bathroom fixtures and painting.  There are issues and drama putting in a new shower.  The one provided didn't fit (too big).  The one they brought to replace it would fit in the spot, but it's 36" by 48" and the doorway is 28"  We talked about it as a team and after our team meeting, some people started taking up a collection to buy the right size.  So far, without making a group announcement, we have raised $180 out of about $425.  

Howard's team-  Also working on a mobile home.  Tearing up flooring, replacing joists and subfloor.  And studs.  They have asked Bob to draw out a cabinet layout that would be good in this house.  

Leanne's team-  Doing a LOT of drywall and drywall mudding/taping/sanding.  Did I mention the drywall?  

We had a really good team meeting after dinner.  Awesome prayer time.  Just a good day.  

Thank you to everyone who has emailed, texted or Facebook messaged us support and encouragement.  It is awesome having you as part of our team.  You are integral.  You play a role meant just for you.  Thank you!

You can see pictures from our traveling at our Picasa site:  Click here for pictures of NOLA10  (I changed the album from private to public)-  AND- This is a Picasa site-  Google is phasing Picasa out-  Anybody have any great ideas where I should move our photos to?  Flickr is probably the next option?  Thoughts anyone?

Are you a tool?

Christ has no body on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion for the world is to look out;
yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good;
and yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now.  
(St. Teresa of Avila)
