Well the PA team is working hard every day even in this heat. They have to take breaks every 20 minutes but they say it is worth it. And really it is. They are working to help people get back into their homes and soon another family can actually be a family in that home. The team is split up into 3 different groups doing different things. One group is mudding out a house and another is doing drywall and another is doing trim on a house. It is very hot in every place they are working. It may be hot but it is worth it says one volunteer. Yesterday they were tackling all the weeds in front of a house that the city is going to tear down if it is not handled so the team went there and got all the weed and lawn looking good. Anyway a person ridding by shouted out the window at them "Thank God for Volunteers, Thank God for Volunteers" it made working in the heat bearable. There has been many testimonies such as this from a lot of groups that come here. One team got to pray with a mother that had a six day old baby. A man that lives down here stopped at one team and said he wanted to buy lunch for everyone and he did. This has happened many times. Another man stopped and bought a team ice cream and another snowballs. The people down here really appreciate what volunteers are doing for the city. It shows in many ways and on their faces. This all can't happen without YOU because YOU are the volunteers. We need you and so does the city of New Orleans. We love you all.
Well our son Alex comes tomorrow and I am so excited. I haven't seen him in almost 5 months. I talk to him a lot on the phone but just knowing he will be here tomorrow makes me so happy. I tell you now there may not be a blog tomorrow because I plan on spending a lot of time with him so please forgive me.
Well I want to say Hi to all the teams that have been here through the summer and know that we love you all. Keep praying for us and we will keep praying for you.
Hi Kelly family!
Lots of love from .. Allen and Dovie
