Hi Everyone! This is Crew E saying hey and giving you an update as to what we were doing on day 4 here in Slidell, LA. Our weekly work assignment is to continue hanging sheet rock where needed, taping, to sanding, mudding, and painting. Currently our team is working with Crew A, on our job site.  Today our home owner Sharron came by with her mother to help out with the painting.

The whole YOAM group went out to dinner at Ryan’s. Several home owners including Sharron and her mother enjoyed a wonderful dinner with the group.  We are looking forward to a great day in New Orleans tomorrow.  We will work a half day then gather tools to return to the Epworth Project and then enjoy an afternoon in the French Quarter!

Sorry that this will be a bit out of order, last night’s post will appear later when finished!

The YOAM Winter trips last work day for the 2012 trip is also Epiphany!  We had the appropriate King Cake (two actually) this morning and a reading of hte King Cake tradition, as well as prayer and morning devotion.  John Ernest got one of the pieces of cake with the baby in it!  Have A GREAT year John!

The “tradition” of getting each other between the crews continues (sans Paul Behrens) Crew C attacked Crew D during their lunch time yesterday and this morning Crew D found their Van gift wrapped!

This is not the first year for these shenanigans, and since the only loss has been a box of saran wrap…we love it!

Please continue to pray for the work we are doing and for our continued safety as we are here being the hands and feet of our God!

Mark
