For those of you who have been following Susan's blog at www.msmission.blogspot.com you will see that we are actively rebuilding 11 homes and a church. Over the last weeks our volunteer numbers ranged for the mid sixties to last weeks 31 responders. Being in rebuild it is our desire to have teams at a 4 to 1 ratio of skill. One highly skilled person to four people who are willing and teachable.
Over the past 8 weeks we have been helping with a home that as of yesterday the owners were able to move back in. That is one of the 11... we are dedicated to get two or three more done in the next week or so.
It has been a great time for the sense of family.. last week a dear friend, Shirly, from my home church came to spend a week to support me and believe me, it was just the support I needed. She worked like crazy, we were able to have great times outside of the work hours and I miss her already! Gregg and Pam from SD are here again and the three weeks they spend here will be up by Friday of next week. It would be great if they could spend more time but they need to get back to their business and all that life has ahead of them. It will be an awesome week spending time with them working with tile, drywall finishing and painting at 3 different locations.
My two daughters and my 3 grandchildren will be here during Easter week so it will be a long awaited time to see them. My youngest daughter is not able to be with us that week. It would be incredible if she could make it.
My mother who is 91 was in the hospital again last week so I ask that she is held up in prayer. My Dad 's 88th Birthday was Friday... Come this May they will celebrate their 62nd Anniversary.

Prayers and Blessing!
