it's bed time for ginny

got our work teams, have had several meetings, 2 church services and on and on and on!!!  whoo.!!

so far we have had good luck with everything except for one ticket for improper use (was NOT the baerwolf car) and one blown transmission.  hopefully that is the end of the problems.

my team is going to be working on a house that the homeowner is still lliving in.  i heard he is a bit cranky.  this should be an experience!  we have to patch some drywall, texturize some surfaces and - ta da - what else PAINT!  what would a new orleans mission trip be if i didn't paint!  it can't be much because it is a very small team - 2 girls and 3 boys.  i am excited to get going.

the church services tonight were great.   the first was at gloria dei a freshly restored church that had water damage probably in the 5 foot area inside of the church.  it has been restored.  some of our people will be working therre tomorrow doing a bible study for some of the kids.  then we had a candle light service at trinity.  a church that was almost completely destroyed.  it is gutted and there will be a crew there tomorrow working hard to get it on the road to looking like a church again.  we had communion there by generator and candlelight.  it was very special.

there are two teams here that are not part of our group.  one from wisconsin and one from minnesota.  this is the first time that i have been here that we haven't had the place to ourselves.  it is great to see how organized we are (thanks steve simpson) .  in contrast, the those teams are not organized at all. they probably will lose at least half of tomorrow.

ok - i am tired.  i am going to do about 10 minutes of research and i am gonna go nitey nite.

pray for us tomorrow that we can get done what we have to get done.

we love you and miss you all
