At the Katrina Memorial

Eating at The Shed, a must for anyone visting

Today was another great day! It felt like we really made some progress though we are learning to let God determine our path. We had a new “volunteer” join our group – Fred who’s home previous groups worked on and many of you met when he came to CT - came to Eugene’s and spent the day sanding away.
Pastor Laura had the privilege of “shopping” with Mildred to purchase the cabinet for her almost completed laundry room – thanks to a donation from Avon MUMC. This trip to the store lead to Mildred recounting her first trip back to Biloxi after Katrina seeing all the church vans and trailers coming into town and thinking that God has called “His people” to come help us. She said she has always believed in Jesus but now she “sees” Him. In spite of everything she feels fortunate compared to a lot of her neighbors and she wants to “pay it forward” to help restore her neighborhood to the way it was when all the children used to play in the streets.
Rev. Moses took us on the “pilgrim” tour to the Camille Memorial and the Katrina Memorial and then to the area where the bridge is being repaired. He recounted many moving stories about the people of Biloxi during & after the hurricane and how we are bearing their burdens as Jesus told us to and that their hope comes from all of those who come to help. Our tour continued to “The Shed” where we had a really a great bar-b-que dinner. The place was filled with volunteers from OH, WS, ND, PA and many construction workers all here to help the area rebuild.
We are leaving earlier tomorrow morning so we can maximize our last day here. It will also be a sad day because we will be saying good-bye to our new wonderful friends in Christ. Please pray for us on this last day of service to our neighbors and our God.
