Chrissy joined Corky and I last night and Rick White flew in this afternoon.
You'll find pictures of the first few pieces of equipment we moved over from Slidel today - Chrissy's grill and camper, the red shower trailer built this winter, two vans and a trailer. We also set up Corky's trailer on the site and moved the BBC shower trailer over from Sweet Bethel church where the camp was supposed to originally reside.
A crew from Texas spent their 2nd day working on the fellowship hall at the new church building. They have drywall up and mudded and have expanded the size of the kitchen adding a nice pass through. We'll be there for church in the morning so more pictures of that tomorrow.
We joined them and some church members for Mr. Rosevelt's "trash in da pot" and great conversation among all.
The last couple of shots are after we got generators up and running at the camp and the sun was for practical purposes gone for the evening. The bugs were horrible without bug spray, but not a problem with.
And so ends the first night of the Hilltop Bayou La Batre camp.Pray for the power issues to be resolved. Hopefully we can get lines run in rather than depending on generators for the length of the camp. While we want to be prepared with generators and a power management plan for first response, it isn't the most practical in this environment where full services are available.
More people are signing up for more trips into August! The response from volunteers wishing to be hands and feet and from the recipients of our help continue to bless my life and reafirm we are doing His will and working in His kingdom.
Thank you for all you do! Check back for more updates tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning the tents come in
