We also had very special guests today. At noon we went to Goodwill Missionary Baptist Church for lunch. We had delicious southern food and good company. After we ate in the hall, we moved into the church to see its structure and an old friend, Billy Morgan, told us a little bit of its history. Then, he told us a little of his story including his experiences during Hurricane Katrina. He was interesting, entertaining, and motivating. We were very excited to head back to work afterwards.
In the evening, Miss Collins joined us for dinner. Many of us have been working on her house, so she came to tell us her story. She told us how her house and belongings were completely lost after the hurricane. She lived in a trailer for awhile, but unpleasant circumstances motivated her to find different housing as soon as possible. She is currently living in an apartment building in Long Beach and is looking forward to coming home to Pass Christian. After she spoke, Darwin (a crew leader), lead us in devotion with some scripture and excellent music. He was accompanied by Allison G on guitar and John B on bongo drums.
We are hoping to avoid the rain that is forecast for tomorrow. Wish us luck.
