Bayou La Batre is HOT in the summer. I heard back home in Columbus it'll be down to 40 tonight, but it's still in the 80s here at 11:00 central. Made working slow during the afternoon when the predicted rain didn't come. I'll take wet yesterday working to hot today.
We still got a lot more done today. Here's the pictures I took. The kitchen tent is up and mostly stocked with the Hilltop and Bayou Recovery Project stuff. We tapped into the park water supply and ran the line through a short trench and back to the camp. Half the plumbing in the camp (water and sewer) are done and will be completed tomorrow. Another sleeping tent went up and another framed. Walk-in freezer and fridge arrive tomorrow and hopefully large propane generators.
Pray for a link to the power grid for the camp. That'll be a lot cheaper and more convenient than the generators, but is nearly the last piece of the puzzle to fall into place.
The first volunteers arrive tomorrow! A couple groups wanted to come work with Bayou Recovery before the Hilltop camp opened, officially and by the weekend there will be 80 volunteers in camp!
No conversions today, like Sunday and Monday, but I had a great conversation with a seeker last night. Please pray for those to happen too and that they would have ears to hear.
I'll try to put up an update tomorrow before heading for home, but may be pressed for time and put it off a day. Keep checking though, as lots of things are happening fast and this is the easiest way to keep you all up to date.
May God bless you and your families as you consider service with Servants Unite, or any other effort.
