Greatings from New Orleans! The experience here as been a little different than the last, but not much. Instead of gutting we are rebuilding. Once again I am doing drywalling and have a great team. Even though some of them have never dry walled before in their life or even know where to start after the first day they have taken on the challenge and have done a great job. As I got frustrated today over something and I needed to go outside for a moment a lady pulled up beside the house and got out of her car. It was the owner of the house Vera. As we stood and spoke for a moment I walked into her house and introduced her to the team: Norm, Danaca, Patty, Ruth, Eva and Mary. She was so greatful for what we are doing she is bringing us Southern style chicken on Friday for lunch. As I walked her back out to her car she turned before she entered in and hugged me without letting go and whispered in my ear you are a God sent. Now those of you who know me know I dont tear up easily but I had to wipe my eyes a few times before entering back in the house to continue what God sent me here to do. I miss my family and my wife but the hug I received today was amazing and will be instilled in my heart forever!
