Thursday

It's our last night here in Franklinton. I think we had our biggest dinner yet. We had chicken, a variety of southern food and lots of desserts. I know we are working harder than usual, but we are probably gaining weight.

The weather continues to be perfect, but they're predicting storms for tonight and tomorrow. We have lots of work to do, so hopefully the weather will hold until we are finished. I hear that Michigan is getting a little rain.

We have developed good friendships with the group from Jenison and some people from Trinity Baptist Church. Someone said they couldn't tell that we were from different churches.

Tonight, the mission organizers from the church--Sharon and Joe, thanked us for our work this week and they gave us tee-shirts that say weroc. It is an acronym for Washington Parish Emergency Recovery On going Cadre. They also gave us a bottle of Louisianna Hot Sauce. I'm not sure how many of us will dare to eat it. They keep making comments that they are going to keep us for several more weeks, so if we don't get home, you will know what happened.

Tomorrow, after a full day of work, we plan to shower, eat our final dinner here and head home. The drive home may be a bit more challanging as most of us will be pretty whipped. Keep us in your prayers as we travel.

If you see Tammy when we get home, ask her why she earned the nickname Crash.

Thanks again for your prayers and support.

The mission crew in Lousiana.
