It is a cool morning in slidell, 72 degrees and a little wind. It made for a great night of sleep in the tent. When my head hit the pillow and my body on the air mattress I went to sleep right away. I was completely and totally used up. God has blessed us with the time here in Slidell as we kingdom work.
I tasted muck water for the first time yesterday in New Orleans. A large splash came from a shelf that had a box on it. It smells as bad as you can imagine and it seemed like it penetrated my respirator.
Glenn has done a wonderful job of describing the events that have unfolded here. The people we meet each day are still in shock and do not know where to start rebuilding their lives. Thats where Team Red and Hilltop come in. We help them pull out what was previously important and now destroyed so that they can begin rebuilding their lives. Hopefully, they get a glimmer of the light of Christ that burns so brightly in our volunteers here. It is hard to describe the emotions that we are experience.
Hilltop is an interesting mix of folks from all over the nation and a mixture of Christians and non-Christians. Many of the non-christians are getting an introduction to Christ. Exciting to say the least.
I am so proud of our people on Team Red. They step up at a moments notice and do what needs to be done and then some. This morning at the morning briefing Jess ask for a poem to be recited, Art T. stood and recitied a poem he had written last night.
Our women on the team are hard workers. All of them are awesome.
God Bless each of you for your prayers, we need them!
