Greetings from Mississippi!
This is Barb Wachtman posting for Pastor Shannon ....
We've had two days of work, we're tired, a little weary and ecstatic.
A snapshot of the first full day for many (but not all!) Trinity members and friends looks like this.
Rise and shine at 5:45 for 6 a.m. breakfast! Assignments given at 7 and off to our various posts by 7:30.
By the time we returned around 5 p.m., we had prepared a kitchen floor for tile, sanded drywall, spackled 5 ceilings, moved two truckloads of equipment from Christus Victor Lutheran to the warehouse-turned-relief center site, sorted and filled bags at the distribution center, distributed food and other goods to area residents coming to the center ("A story in every car!" as Betty Okeson said), assisted at a mental health and medical clinics, applied primer to five rooms and painted another two of the rooms.
And that was just Monday.
On Sunday, many of us traveled to Biloxi to worship with Pastor Shannon, as she led services at Bethel Lutheran Church. She did us proud as she told her listeners that the Holy Spirit, on this Pentecost Day, is active in us all."
Then a crew of nine cleaned Christus Victor classrooms Sunday afternoon, while others worked at the distribution center at the Camp Victor AKA: our lodging, warehouse, kitchen, disaster relief center.
It is now 10:15, and lights are going out!
Blessings and appreciation for your support.
Barb Wachtman and Nancy Sweet and the Trinity gang!
PS: Peter Gibson and Shane Vining
Ok, so Shane and I were outside throwing the baseball around and two attractive young southern women flauntered by so I, the genius, decided to throw the ball in front of them to prompt their stopping to converse with us. To make a long story short, it didn't work... it went like this. The ball hit the curb bounced off rolled into the street and they didn't even stop. Tomorrow will be more successful.
