Hi All,

Just getting back from the beach, we had devotions/team meeting there tonight. We are taking showers in order of age, oldest to youngest and I finally got to have one of the first showers, therefore, I get to blog first. All the teens are in line.

It was another great day. It was very hot as usual, but God blessed JR and I with the cool house today, they have air conditioning. He is still laying flooring, this time cork floor, and I painted book shelves. I still got to do a little grouting with Sara and Marissa. The rest of the gang were outside either moving furniture or painting a house. It's hard to believe we only have one more work day left. Everyone is doing soooo well, getting along and working really hard at our worksites, and around camp here with meals, clean up and lunches. There are many other groups down here also working on many houses and the folks here are soooo appreciative to receive the help. God is truly blessing this area and all of us. There is still so much to do and we are hoping we get to see an end product soon. We do little jobs here and there but never really get to finish anything.

Thanks everyone for all your thoughts and prayers, we really appreciate it. We will be on way home soon.

Mom and Dad, I can't get the girls to sit down and blog, but they are thinking of you and love you. They just think because our whole family is here, no one will look at it. Love to all.

JR and Deb

i am having soo much fun in Galveston! we have been working really hard. IT IS SO HOT!!!! i cant wait till i get back so that it isnt as hot! but we are still having alot of fun while we help the people of galveston. it is amazing to see the damage and not want to help. then you feel so accomplished when you see the difference and how happy it makes the people feel. them telling you that it gives them hope... i hope that every1 feels the way i do about helping them and that we have accomplish so much! i hope that i can go on many more missions trips so that i can help people and have fun with the missions team. it is alot of fun meeting new people and i hope i can talk to them againg.

Hi everyone! Yesterday we scraped paint off of a house, and today we are going to paint it. I don't think I used enough sun tan lotion yesterday, because I got pretty burnt on my arms and neck. We had fun feeding the sea gulls at lunch. Dustin tried catching one with a fishing pole. We had a lot of fun and today will probably be just as hot.

Talk to you later!

20 girls 8 showers equals madness. More people coming equals chaos! Lol Everything is good with us, some are a little sunburnt. Yesterday I had some real southern sweet tea which was really good! Today we should be painting after scrapping the house yesterday so that should be fun.

Love you all talk to ya later!

Hey everybody! I am having so much fun this week! On Sunday, we went to church and then toured Galveston and Bolivar and then went to the beach. Monday to Wednesday i was at a house laying ceramic tile from 8 am to 5 pm. It was so much fun learning how to do something new and getting to work with and know other people. On Tuesday, I got to work with 6 people from a city about an hour north of Houston. It was just so much fun getting to know them and working with them. Today after we were finished working, we went to the beach again, and we brought a little fishing net to use, and Dustin and Josh each caught a fish with it. I am really looking forward to the rest of the week. I am not sure what I will be doing, but I am sure that I will have a lot of fun doing it, no matter how tough the job is. It is just great to be down here serving God and other people who need help. See you all later!
