Work Day 4

Hello to All!

Today was our 4th work day in Mississippi! What a great day!!! We still have a good safety report card - well, except for the 32 ounce Diet Coke that jumped off my food tray and on to Brian's back today at Wendy's. Sorry Brian!

The highlight according to Charlie - Harry's team helped a big turtle across the road today in Moss Point. Yeah! They also installed a washer, dryer and a kitchen sink for a grateful homeowner. Charlie is happy now that he no longer has to haul the kitchen sink around in his car trunk anymore. The other highlight is that Jacob eat Jambalaya (with Okra) for dinner! : )

Eric and Bob's team had a productive day. We have 90% of the three layers on the firewall and I started the mudding of the brackets that were drilled into the drywall. We should finish this assignment tomorrow. We got a nice rain shower early in the day - even lost our electricity for a while, but our team kept on truck'n. The electricity came back on before the drill batteries died! Lots of work got accomplished, and even some fun. By end of day today, we decided we were going to sign Margaret up for the next Survivor show! Margaret, how does Gabon, Africa sound?

Tina and Eric did a terrific devotion after dinner tonight - one topic that was focused on was team work. I think the Salem team has done an awesome job at team work!

Lastly, a good game of "What were you thinking" after dinner in the social hall provided some good laughs.

Well, I must close for the night. Please check out the new pictures I added from my camera. One more work day to go. Our bodies are slowing down, you can tell it's getting close to Friday. We all feel good about the contributions we have made to the residents of Mississippi and I think we will all go home with some personal growth as well.

God Bless,
