We Have Arrived…and Somehow Survived
After 16 hours of driving over 2 days we arrived Sunday evening at about 6 pm.
The 10 hour first day drive was uneventful, except for me (Steve Rucinski) going a little crazy with 5 teens in the car. If we could bottle their energy we could elimate oil as fuel.
We went to the 8 am service at St. John’s (Decatur, Alabama) which had a lot of thee’s and thou’s in it, not like our normal service. We will post more church pictures as time allows. We then hit the road for the final 6 hour drive to Bay St. Louis, MS.
Thanks be to God that we arrived safe and sound, Mary and her vehicle crew only got waylayed shopping for about 90 minutes and put her last place for arrival at the camp.
We start today with breakfast at 7:30, orientation at 8:30 and work projects at 9:30. Most days we will start working at around 8:30. There are probably over 100 youth here sleeping in 4 seperate 40 person quonset huts in cot-sized bunk beds.
Keep us in your prayers that our work here is helpful to those in need and that our efforts are injury free. More later as I have had no coffee and breakfast is almost ready.
