Waveland - Day 1

Today the youth group got to work in a big way. The girls and guys all split up and did different tasks. The girls, who consist of Susan Bethards, Laura Luebbert, Megan Dampf, and Danielle Schepers, spent time painting a woman's house in muggy, 91 degree temperatures. The boys, who consist of Aaron Dunn, Kevin Krumm, and Josh Thomas, built a drain pipe and laid drain tile for a house that had taken on 5 1/2 feet of water.

I talked with Susan at around 5:30pm this evening. She reported that everyone was doing very well. They are all exhausted, hungry, and ready to jump back at it tomorrow. She also reported that, although they are not looking for praise of any kind, they have been showered with appreciation. Today, which is only day one, they were given TWO cakes! Things are going very well.

Come on back tomorrow for another update!
