We completed our week of volunteering and enjoyed it so much that we've decided to stay another week! Most of the week was spent working on the home of a young man who has been living in a FEMA trailer for over a year (see the trailer behind the house in the first picture). FEMA has notified many of the people in this Moss Point, MS area that they are going to pick up the trailers and use them in other areas. In other words, time’s up for these folks. So the rush is on to get them back into their homes. Our team of four couples repaired drywall; cleaned and painted the bathroom, hall, kitchen, ceilings, and dining rooms; stained and varnished new kitchen cabinets that his church had provided; and replaced outside soffits, fasciae board, and siding that had been ripped off by a hurricane-spawn tornado. We were dog tired at the end of each day, but it was a very rewarding tired.
