Tag your It!

This past week we had two great teams with us. While TNU was heading out, Edison, NJ and Somerset, KY got “tagged” and then spent the next week helping and serving in the Bayou. It was truly great to have two tremendously flexible teams helping out wherever we needed them. I (Tim) also need to send a special shout out to Edison because part of the team was family—Thanks for coming Uncle Abe and Aunt Agar. It was really good to have family around!

In any case, as the week carried on we had not only beautiful weather but at the same time enjoyed getting to see two homes move further along in the rebuilding process. The Johnson home took a bid turn with all the mudding, sanding, and priming getting done. And NJ hit it hard with even getting a number of the rooms painted.The kids just love that they will be in their home in a matter of weeks! Thank the Lord, and thank you mission teams!

We also had Somerset helping us on some of the siding at the Johnson home, while also working to help us finish up the Jones’s home.Somerset and Edison also tag-teamed on some major jobs at a couple of our homes . . . fun times deep in trash and debris pick-up, organization, and removal!Which we know the best part of it for the girls was hanging out at the dump, right?!

Thanks again to Edison and Somerset.You guys were a blessing and it was not only great to have you pose for some pics, I mean, help us in the Bayou, but it was tremendous to see how well you worked, ate, and just were with each other and those “neighbors” you met in the Deep South!

Until next time . . . when you eat any shrimp think of us here in Bubba Gump land!
