More to be done.











Hi Everyone. Here are the pictures of the teams from Alabama and New Mexico. The first picture is the The New Mexico team of teenagers tearing apart the roof of the building that came off during Katrina. The picture of the 3 boys are the teens also. The Alabama team is sitting at the table. They are working so hard on a house in a different location and I will get pictures of the house and get those on the site tomorrow.
The other pictures are of the warehouse that we are trying to get put back together. The pile of rubble in front of it is all the stuff from the inside of the building. The city will eventually come and take it away. The other picture is of the inside of the building now. Doesn't it look different from the other pictures? It is so empty now with just the studs holding up the building. If you go back to the previous pictures you can see the difference. The New Mexico team was working very hard on that building inside and out. They were doing an awesome job which but I do think their were a few people from Alabama there also.

The picture you see of the cloud was taken today while we were standing outside of the building. All of the sudden the dark clouds started rolling in. I had never seen clouds move so fast and roll like that. On of our team members Monty who is from Indiana was explaining to me that a Tornado is formed from clouds like that and he has seen them before. I have never seen one before but I knew that there have been Tornado here before so we went into the building. Well it still was an awesome site and and just as it started to pass it started to pour down rain. It was like someone was in the clouds pouring buckets of water on us. It was a very interesting day to say the least. Well it is an adventure.

By the way I would like to say HI to Jen and her sister that came from California. They were here about 2 weeks ago and I so enjoyed their company. YOU GIRLS ROCK! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement in the letter you left.

Until tomorrow... Lots of love coming your way from Allen and Dovie..
