Day 4 Working hard for the money

This should actually start at the end of day 3 because as i was finishing that blog God was just working. The servant team hear (the ones that cook all the food and take care of the facilities) are a group from Alabama. They are truly wonderful people and the students are really growing to love them. Katie and Kayla were talking to two of the older ladies for about and hour. There was some crying laughing and it finished with about a 15 min prayer time. Amen.
It was just a little bit harder to wake up in the morning. A couple of the team has been feeling sick, so sleep was feeling good. One of the team forgot to set the alarm so we had some scrabbling, it was funny to watch. We all pack up about 7:30 and headed out. We decided to switch some of the team around since Team 1 was almost done with all the dry wall and Team 2 still had tones of dry wall left. James said that they would be finished with there house but the afternoon and he was right. The house looks awesome. I took a small video and will try to add it if possible. It was about a 2000 square foot house that they finished. Don, the team leader, was really impressed with the quality of work. We never got a chance to meet the owner but her really close friend stop by and was taken back. We gave him the bible we had for her and Brandon spent a good bit talking to him outside. He said that Stephanie is going to try to come by the other house tomorrow.
At the second house it was an awesome day. We got a lot of work done and finished the main room up stairs. Each room in the house has about 15 foot ceilings so it a much harder task and if you have ever put dry wall on the ceilings you know what I mean. John was there before lunch and started to work with us again. Brandon had a great idea of packing him a lunch and he really appreciated it. He was like, "Man you pack this lunch for me? For me?" It was cool. He told me that he was going to share about his experience with the Hurricane tomorrow so that should be awesome. He has been through so much, 3 faulty contractors, one took 50,000 basically all he had. You can only imagine.
With the rest of the crew coming over at lunch we were able to get a lot more finished and started working on the downstairs. The student did a good job with there attitudes. Its really easy when your tired, and there are 10 people in one room working to snap at each other but they really did good. Please continue to pray for this kind of unity. We wrapped up about 4 pm and headed back to the church. We had to clean up quick cause we were going down to the french quarted.
After dinner each night the whole crew here does a devotion. I had asked Hannah if she would play worship and for Jake to share. It was awesome. Hannah played "How great the fathers love for us" and Jake shared his testimony and serving in the mist of suffering. One of the staff came up to me and was in tears afterward, truly touched by the Lord.
We wanted to have a little fun tonight so we headed down town for some sight seeing. It was tons of fun. Just walking around seeing the Hardrock cafe, the Presbyterian, some cannon, and we all at at cafe du mond. We also ate with a homeless person/my wife. See photo bellow. The student loved it and took a lot of pictures. We stopped by a gift shop and got a few nick nacks and were headed home. It was lights out as soon as we got back. We got a hold of Mr. Chris form last year and will be going to his house for a BBQ today. Were really excited about that. So please be in prayer for that and for our last day with John. Pray for Salvation.
