Rector's Blog
Tuesday, August 14, 2007
This week I'm down in Mississippi with 7 other guys from St. Tim's ages 14-19, and a chaperone, helping people rebuild their lives and homes destroyed by Hurrican Katrina several years ago. Even though I was here last year, I am amazed by just how much has changed and how little has changed. Still so much work to do, and so much done already.
We flew into Gulfport last night and experienced right away the heat—it was over 100 with the heat index yesterday with humidity. We had a great time last night: after dinner and orientation, we went bowling, to Sonic for some treats, and then went down to the beach and talked til late. Here's us in our quonset huts. Since we're the only ones here, we rearranged this place to make it home for the week...
 We just learned that we're going to frame a house today for someone who is in a nursing home, waiting to move into his home again. It's going to be near 110 degrees with the heat index, so we're gearing up now with water and supplies. We're ready to get to work and have fun! More later... I'll try to post once a day...
