Greetings from Slidell. Today was our final day of working at Gethsemane Lutheran Church. The week flew by- I wish we could stay longer there is so much work to be done. Having a chance to rebuild is a very different experience than mucking houses. The work is much slower and more precise. It helps you to realize that the rebuilding process will take a very long time.
I encourage anyone reading this to consider a trip to the Gulf Coast. Your physical presence will be greatly appreciated and is much needed. This afternoon, I spoke with a man who is a member of Gethsemane. He shared with me how grateful the people are for volunteers. The people are so busy trying to rebuild their own homes and lives, there isn't enough time to help with the rebuilding of the church. Having a place to come and worship will give them some sense of normalcy in their lives. There are so many stories... Keep the people in your prayers.
Thankful for the opportunity to serve Gods' people- Cindy
