Day 3: First day on site

Whenever you are on a Short-Term trip you always have to expect things to change.  As of late last week we were told that we would be working on rehab, so I think we had some hope that we might get to work along side the family who lives there, however, when we arrived at Habit for Humanity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast on Tuesday morning we discovered that we would be working on a new build.  And when you talk about getting to work on something from the ground up, well that's what we are doing.  When we arrived at the job site we found only a concrete foundation there and we jumped in and got started right away.  Here's a picture of our team just before we headed out to the job site.

The thing that always amazes me is how God assembles a short-term team, He always places the right people on these teams for the right reasons.  Sometimes you don't always see that until you get into the thick of things.  But when you realize that this isn't a team assembled by Daybreak, rather it's a team assembled by God it is an awesome thing.

On Tuesday we were able to get a good bit of work done, everyone pitched in and worked hard in the warm Biloxi climate.  It was in the high 80's with high humidity.  By the end of the day we were all ready to get out of the heat and get cleaned up.  We are staying with New Life Ministries here in Biloxi and boy do they know how to host a team.  We arrived back here last night to a great dinner of roast beef and mashed potatoes that were very tasty.

We'll be heading back out to the job site this morning and we'll be starting our day here at about 8 a.m. CST.  We appreciate your prayers and ask that you continue to pray for safety and strength.  We all want you to know that we are doing well.  

Thanks,

Scott
