On the road again. . .

Howdy, from Slidell Louisiana. Today we drove the 3 hour drive east, to Operation Blessings, which will be our home for the next week. We wrapped up the week in Lafayette by doing some finishing work on a few homes that have been in progress for a bit. We put some panneling up in a home, mopped some silver sealant onto a tin roof (talk about hot!!), painted, and layed some more subflooring. I'm sure there was more too, i just don't remember! Last night one of our site supervisors invited us to her beautiful home and cooked dinner for us. We also were able to use the hot tub and pool, which was a wonderful way to relax after a long week of work.

I should find out more about Operation Blessings and what we will be doing this week, on Monday, when we have our orientation. We will only be here a week, so i won't be getting too comfortable. One of the other teams from Sacramento is living here (along with a Denver team) and other volunteers, so it is really nice to be around other people during down time. Working and living with the same 8 people every day can start to get really old!! (for all of us!) I'll fill you in more this next week about Operation Blessings and Slidell. Get ready though, i'll be living somewhere different pretty much every 7-10 days for the next almost month. If you miss a week, you'll be way behind on my nomadic life. I am really excited about the 3rd week location. So stay tuned for that!
