Louisiana Disaster Relief Trip - Day 4 Update

Today was our last day working in Louisiana. It hurts to know that there are so many homes that are desperate for help and we have to leave; however, it brings such joy to look back at the 7 houses we completed in just the 4 days we were here. Today we split into 2 groups: group one continued the "mud-out process" and gutting out houses. Group 2 consisted of 4 members, it was the group that sprayed homes for mold. Group 2 set out to spray their first home and then met up with a Disaster Relief Team to help finish the gutting of one home. One of our team members, Tonya, volunteered to work with the Alabama Relief Team a.k.a "The Food Unit". They fed approximately 3,700 people in the area all before 2:30!

We've met several people throughout the days we've been here.  Today after dinner, we went for a treat at Baskin Robins with our team shirts on and we met a few ladies who we spoke with while we were there. They were all their with their friend who was affected by the flood. They wanted to take her out and get her mind off her tragedy. They all thanked us and said how grateful they were to receive any kind of help.  Although we hear thank you from the people of Louisiana, it truly has been a blessing to work in their homes and to offer up the help that is so desperately needed. Through all the devastation the good news is that many have found Jesus and many have grown stronger in their relationship with the Lord. We are grateful that we've were able to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
