Post from a team here this week.

Dear Church Family, We're having a great time down here on the coast of Mississippi. We arrived Saturday night and got acclimated to Lagniappe Presbyterian Church's accomodations. The bunk houses and the main all-purpose center are air-conditioned and there are hot showers! The food is fine, though we went to an all-you-can-eat buffet today for Phoebe's birthday.Sunday was a day of getting our bearings, worshipping with the other teams, and getting orientations from the Lagniappe staff and interns. After church in the morning we went to New Orleans for sight-seeing. After driving past a lot of the devastated areas, Steve Garnier was insistent that we see the French Quarter, so we parked and walked around for awhile. Bourboun Street and all around it seemed to fare very well. After some beignets and a sudden, violent thundershower, we headed back to Bay St. Louis, which is about 50 miles east of New Orleans and 40 miles west of Biloxi.Monday morning we split up our group into two work teams- Dave and Eva took a shed-building crew, and Butch and Jerry headed up a drywall team. After two days of work, the drywall team has grown quite attached to the little blue house that they're working in. Despite a few heat exhausted adults and after borrowing a few of the drywall team members, the shed crew successfully finished their shed at the end of Tuesday!We've attached pictures:Three pictures of the shed in various stages of completion. The completed picture includes the Goff family (Georgia, Audrey and Jordan). There is a picture of OUR blue house and one of some of the dry wall crew at work.Everyone is in great spirits, and the sickies have completely recovered!Please continue to pray for strength, a strong sense of team and opportunities to reach out to the people of Bay St. Louis. Particularly that we would have an opportunity to invite many to the dinner hosted by Lagniappe Church on Friday night. For His Kingdom, The Bay St. Louis Mission Team
