Ike Relief, First day in Bridge City

What a great day we had today in Bridge City, TX. If we were wondering if there was a need before we arrived, the questions were answered for us today. 3800 homes total in this town only twenty eight without damage. Most homes had three feet of water or more in them. Water in houses means mud on the floors. Most of the mucking is done, thank goodness, but there is much sheetrock to be torn out. Glen V. continues to show his prowess with a sledge hammer. He has a talent for tearing things up. If you are worried about the teens who are beginning to mature, do not worry the teens we have on the trip are awesome. They are strong, willing to work and untiring. Our two homeowners today were thankful for the work we were doing for them. You could see the relief on their faces as we completed the jobs. Jesse and Shirley were fun to talk to while we were working on their houses. Its bedtime more info tomorrow.
