On The Coast

Well we're here - and we're freezing! Came out of the restaurant and it was only 52 degrees!

Sorry to rub it in, but you could be here too! Met Craig Snow who directs the projects for HopeForce and he showed us the home we will be installing drywall tomorrow. Jewel is 80 years old and here home was completely destroyed. A Mennonite group called Christian Aid built a new home in 3 weeks and now we get to add our touch. then we will work on Darlene's home and finish it for her before we leave.

Caught up with Tom and Marcia who arrived in their trailer - had a chance to hear their unbelievable testimony of what they had to go through to get here. Can't wait for them to share it with you all.

Pray for us that our ibuprofen will not run out and that we truly make a difference here. Craig told us he had made a 2 week commitment to HopeForce one year ago - the devotion here is humbling. Hope to share some pics tomorrow.
