Sunday's activities

We had a fantastic day today.  It was VERY hot!  The radio said that Galveston was 87 degrees, but we're sure the heat index had to be 100.  The stewardess on the plane told us yesterday's heat index was 110!!!  WOW!!  After we fell into bed last night at 2 am (our bodies were still on 3 am), we made it up this morning and were ready for sunday school at 9:45.  Our worship was a great time here where we stayed at First Baptist of LeMarque.  The members of this congregation were so welcoming and are sincerely thankful that we are here.  We weren't quite sure why God changed our housing locations, but today it became clear by what we heard from His word.  

We toured the area and saw some of the damage that is still visible this afternoon.  So much still needs to be done.  We rode the ferry to Bolivar Peninsula and saw many dolphins from the boat.  Everyone was excited about that!  We ended our day with our first swim in the Gulf of Mexico.  The water is warm and the kids had a blast!

Tomorrow will be our first day of work.  Please pray that God will plan and direct our steps and that we will be able to recognize and meet the appointments that He has prepared for us.  Pray also that we will be able to effectively work in the heat.  We were thankful for today to become a bit more acclimated to it before having to work in it.  

God is so good!  We are praising Him in all things!  Love to all!

  1. Allison, Did you get any pictures of the dolphins? I know how much you like them, let me know. I am so excited for you guys. You are going to have a rough week ahead of you. Let us know if Curtis gets his luggage. Even though he does not see a problem with losing it. Ha Ha
    Love, Mom (Carol)

  2. Hi Allison. Glad you saw some dolphins. When I go to the beach watching for dolphins is one of my favorite things to do. I was so excited to hear you were able to go on this trip. Can not wait to hear all that God is going to show you during this time.
