!!

Wisconsin is dear to my heart of course and the people that have helped so far this week here in the Galveston County area are feeling warmth in their hearts as well. The blessings keep coming each time a new team comes in.

This we have been able to work on a roofing job that began last week while a them from LasVegas was here. Hai (owner of the home and mother of 5) has been so excited she is almost floating! Her home was gutted last week and this week we the new roof in going on! We will be continuing to have teams work in her home and with God's grace we will be bringing it through to completion.

Other members of the team went into the Galveston Vineyard Church plant building and completed the remaining gut out...insulated...are drywalling and today the plan is to start mudding!

Other team members are continuing the work on Marie's home... they are drywalling as well along with completing some plumbing. Our responder from WA is up to his elbows in that project.

Also another team is in Paul and Susan's home... completed the sub floor, hung insulation and are now drywalling.

Yet another team... the ladies... with a start from my brother and sister-in-law who took out the door frames, light fixtures and a few other things, completed a gut out with the home owner still amazed! Carl was more than shocked when I drove up and the ladies began unloading from the van. He did not expect the team to be women and he surely thought when he saw Jim that he was going to be staying with the team of ladies... I needed Jim to get them started.. take care of the things that may have been a challenge for them and get him to another job. Carl went home to get his camera!!!! Within 4 hours these ladies had the rooms that need to be gutted done, all the ceilings out, every nail pulled and the tile floor in the kitchen pulled up. When I came back to collect half the team for another job I found that Carl was still in dis-belief and had been calling all his friends to tell them of this team of women. He told me now knows that ladies can work just as hard as a team of men. He and his wife we blessed in a huge way.

As you can see the days are very full.. I have not been able to get to the blog on a daily basis but Susan has been able to be in the office a bit more than I so please look at her blog www.msmission.blogspot.com for a daily report of what we are doing. I will be updating my more on a weekly basis.
