First post from Mississippi team!!

Greetings from Gulfport, MS


We arrived safely Saturday PM about 11:00. All the travel was great, not much traffic and no road construction after we left Michigan! We went to Little Rock Missionary Baptist church Sunday AM and we really "rocked & rolled"! In the afternoon we relaxed and went down to the beach to cool off. The water was really warm - at least 80 degrees. Today, Monday we had our first work day -what an experience for all of us. We divided into about 4 different work crews and tackled many different jobs - drywalling, putting down flooring, hanging cabinets, put up rais gutters, etc. Barb & Marge are keeping us fed very well! - no weight loss this week. It is very warm - upper 90's with about 95% humidity and had showers off and on today. It's about time to call it a day because tomorrow is another big work day. We are so blessed - God is good! No major injuries - for all the hours we put in today between us that is a miracle! Keep praying - some big days coming up. More later - hopefully pictures!

You are better people than me - I wouldn't handle that heat and humidity well (I may be related to Cheri!) Glad the trip down went well and will be looking for those pictures. Mari Bruins
