We’re putting up walls! we’re in Gautier and sunscreen and bugspray are required.

It seems you can tell a lot about a person by the kind of lunch they make!

Victor (in yellow), our construction manager for the week has assigned about 3-4 baptist church groups to do work together (about 40-50 ppl-Evergreen is the largest with 10).

Habitat is a Christian organization and welcomes anyone of any faith, but stay true to their roots.

Every meal begins with a blessing. They ask if you aren’t Christian, if you could be respectful during the prayer. Everything’s pretty cool that way, but I will say that most of those that are here for the week are from a local church.

NY, IL, WI and of course CA are represented this week

Clearly the bridge is a little broken.

Good morning!

Just to give ya’ll a quick run down of the morning schedule.

• Wake up is at 6am
• Lunch making is 6:30am
• Breakfast is at 7am

As you can probably guess some its a little early for some of us.

We go to our construction site today. Be praying that no one breaks a fingernail!

Now that day one is over I can now definitively say I understand what it is like to take an Asian tour. Our day after arriving here in Gulfport/Biloxi has been one big tour. After grabbing lunch at the Waffle House and supplies at the local Walmart, we began our whirlwind tour of the Biloxi area. We would drive for five minuets stop run out grab some pictures. Then drive again to the next stopping point, stop run out grab pictures and then start the process over again. The amazing part was the stares we kept getting from people when all ten of us Asian guys descended upon them.

Taken from historic downtown biloxi. What amazes me is that this area sustained winds over 120 mph and floodwaters over 35 feet. That’s taller than the two story buildings here.

Our connection to Biloxi. It’s not big, but it’s here 🙂

Editor’s note: We’re well aware that this flood of posts will come to an end quickly once we get working… and yes, we had a three hour layover in Atlanta.

We’re taking off…

Thanks much to you that came out to visit us and send us off…

We’re excited, all accounted for, and heading for our layover in atlanta..
