Disaster recovery still continuing!

Sorry I have not been keeping the blog posting up, we have been scrambling looking for funds to help our our disaster victims, still recovering from Hurricane Wilma and Tropical Storm Fay. I hope to really try to keep the post up to date. I like to use it to show off the wonderful volunteers that we keep having, especially those that come from a long way from home, but it is neat to show off the ones we have from here at home as well.

We just had a great group here from St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Murfreesboro, TN! They were wonderful, and did lots of great work for us. Paul, their fearless leader, looks a lot more professional on their churches website (you can check out their churches link by clicking it above), and he has been all over the place doing mission work, but has traveled here to our great state several times, and we were blessed each time, however, this is the first time he darkened the door of our great town. While here, he and his gang (Bill, William and Jeff) did work in Montura and Moorehaven, helping us finish some minor details on one job, repaired three roofs, completly replaced one roof before moving on to replacing ceilings. Jeff also helped with comic releif for not just the group, but this gal too!

You think that is enough goodness pouring out of these 4 men for one week, but no wait, there is more! While here they participated in our local United Methodist Women's Cake Acution to benefit the women's favorite missions, and payed bocho money for a choclate cake that they then offered to share with me, what incredible guys (have I blow enough smoke yet?) LOL! Anyway, they were a fun group with a great sense of humor.

At the same time they were here, we also had the nicest couple here (for their third week) from Jerry and Linda Neth's from Pennsylvania. They are retired and love doing this kind of work, and have shown they are quite skillled at it as well. Jerry and Linda are still here, we are trying to convince them to move here but have not had any luck yet. They were joined by yet another couple Hilda and Elton Johnson's. Hilda an Elton came for their third time (Hilda helped us in the office) from Virginia. They worked on skirting, dry wall, built shelves for us in our new storage shed and installed windows.However, a great note about Hilda, is that she is not only a terrific volunteer, but according to this writer, who got to pick her brain quite a bit, she has some right on political views. They left with a promise to come back very soon!

Stayed tuned for more news because Jerry and Linda are still here and we have more volunteers scheduled to come not only in this month but in March as well.
