Building in the mud

Here is one of the teams from our group in front of the house where they worked. This group was able to paint the whole house, caulk, put up trim, put in floors and move in the kitchen cabinets. They worked hard and the house should be ready in a couple of weeks for the owner to move in!

We were fortunate enough to see a house dedication while we were there. They finished a house and gave the keys to the owner at a little party. Kind of like extreme makeover off steroids. The houses that Samaritan's Purse was building were for people that lost their homes in the storm and can't afford to rebuild. Their goal is to have 9 houses done by the end of the month.

The best part was to be able to bless someone else. These houses are small, only 850 square feet. But compared to the trailers these people were living in they will feel huge! We are thankful for the role we were able to play.
