Home and Back Again

It was quick, it was needed, it was fun and it was great to see my family! When I left from home in Sept. my plan was to be here a month and as in the past God had other plans for me. As of today the thought is to be here for another month to six weeks but again, only God knows! I was given a flight home to be at the events of family and to take care of some other things such as collect mail, get the house ready for winter and even voted for the upcoming election.
Attending Grandparents Day at my 10 year old grand-daughter's school and celebrating my 5 year old grand-daughter's birthday, a little early, visiting my parents, voting and more. It all got done in a blink and here I am back at camp.

A 4 man team from MO arrived Monday mid-afternoon. They were sent out today to pull sheetrock at two places on the Island. One of the ladies they helped is now ready to rebuild. Her insurance and FEMA funds are in hand so it won't be long and she will be good as new. The second lady was told yesterday that she will be getting a FEMA trailer very shortly. Until last week they were not allowing trailers of any kind on the Island because if the storm potential. The lifted the rule to get people into some sort of safe housing while they rebuild. I am sure that decision will begin to lift some spirits.

I was asked today to take some time to go to the Kenner Camp in the New Orleans area to help finish up a couple of homes that need to have the drywall finished, painted and trimmed out. I will be leaving for the camp on Friday for, who knows, days or a week...... The goal is to finish up what was started there and close that camp to relocate all that is there to this site.

The prayer for today is for God to show favor on the direction of the Houston camp. Our desire is to go strong into rebuild so please pray that the applied for grants are approved and funding comes pouring in.
