Hi everyone,
We are just relaxing in the camper. It is Sunday evening. The kids are listening to the second playoff game in the tent and Mom & Dad quiet time is refreshing. We have a very light shower in progress. It finally warmed back up, It is well into the 60's at this time. As you can see in the pictures, Rosa is adjusting to camper life quite well. (As you can see Mike ~ she is even smiling)
We had a fun day. We went to CLCA for church this morning and also launched a Truth Project small group there this afternoon. We only had three show, but we were competing with the Saints game. Many including Pastor's wife Twila are excited about hooking up with us.
We had lunch on the beach at a brand new Waffle House restaurant. It was rebuilt on the site of one of seven Waffle Houses sites that were completely destroyed by the storm. It opened one week ago. It is one of the very few rebuilt businesses on the beach. They are rebuilding a large swim/dive/beach store right between us and the beach.
Charlotte told you a little about our present customer Ronald. We worked very hard there Fri. and Sat. I did carpentry repairs, drywalled and cement boarded bathrooms, and the boys and I
drywalled 1300 square feet of ceilings Sat. Ronald was so impressed that he cancelled all of his other contractors Sat. Unfortunately, most contractors are overcommitted and doing very poorly servicing thier customers. It tends to be a bad waiting game.
We have been enjoying tree ripe oranges from Ronald back yard tree. They are soooo good.
Do not believe by the absence of media attention that this situation is under control. I heard a long interview from Gulfport's mayor on the radio. In this region there is a need for 60,000 housing units to be rebuilt at this time. In addition, Gulfports population has increased by 10% since Katrina. Keep in mind these stats do not even consider Louisiana's huge need.
We miss all of you everyday and look forward to seeing some of you here in the coming months and all of you probably early April.
We keep you in our prayers and hope you keep us in yours.
I type slow, the rain has increased.
We enjoy your responses, use the link on the page.
In Christ's love,
Brian and Charlotte
