With the covering and well wishes of many of our friends and family. the Coed and 2-Week men’s team flew from LAX on the evening of Mother’s day.
Pastor Victor and Team Leader Craig sent us off with a time of prayer, then our individual support groups prayed for each team member.
Thus begins the journey for the first leg of our trip.
We arrived safely early monday morning, Tommy took the lead by wearing shorts. A few of us forgot how warm and humid it can be in this part of the state.
We took some time at the new foot pier in front of the Biloxi Lighthouse, met some new friends, who told us that the weather had varied between 40 and the current 80 degrees in recent days.
After touring the area including several of our previous builds, lunch at Cafe new Orleans, orientation at the new Habitat offices, we arrived at our new home, New Life Disaster Relief Camp.
The facilities are smaller, reminiscent of the camp at Yankie Stadium, and have a much more family-run feeling.
Thanks for your prayers, and we look forward to our first day of work tomorrow.
Some photos for you…
