Today’s note from Dennis:

Jeanne from HFH in Mississippi called me this morning to touch base and confirm that our team of 10 men would be arriving on Sunday. (So, it’s too late now for anyone back out.)

I asked if she knew what we would be doing and she didn’t. She said we won’t know until Monday morning when the crew chief comes on site to give us work assignments based on what is accomplished through Friday of this week. She did say that it’s a 90% chance we’ll be working outside (framing, roofing, exterior walls) so dress in layers. The weather, she says, is warm (and that is what MSN Weather forecasts for Biloxi as well).

See you all soon!
Dennis

We’re a couple days away from the project, and now the excitement really kicks in.

We’re trying to wrap up work things and make arrangements for the time away. Anytime you go away, there are so many things you want to take care of before you go. This is no different.

But the post yesterday from Tommy kind of put a visual for where we’ll be staying. Still wondering what the actual work site will be like.

With the recent events at Virginia Tech, I’m reminded of the post 9/11 tragedy. We sent people out to NYC to pray for those affected. This time we’ve got a few more, and we’re able to build homes. It’s exciting.
