As I was walking under this tree, I thought maybe we should do some trimming. There was a couple of branches just hanging on a little bit. So I was going to go up and do it. But as Lee was standing there, he asked if he could. I am not one for height, I was going to do it. But as he asked, sure it is all yours. So as Pat was driving the John Deere, they kept on finding more branches to trim. It really was kinda funny. Jessie was up there and showing Lee what was needed. The time was winding down. They need to get back to the Camp and clean and get ready to leave for the states.
So there was one more picture of the crew before they left for home. I was very blessed to be able to work along side of these guys and even had some fun too.
Okay they all got back to the Camp, cleaned up and the Camp too. I drove them to the airport on our Solar Bus. All went well and I believe they all had a good time too. I gave out my card and said my good byes. Prayerfully down the road I will be able to stop in at Calvary and say hello.
They all really did this for the Lord. I was very proud of them all.
We are moving forward to Monday. As it was going to be a quit day. Pat and Jessie both had off. So Mark asked me to help him with a little tree trimming. This is his mother in law apartments, there are three (3) trees, I think? Well the hurricane knocked a couple of large trees on this roof. So we climbed up and Mark pretty much did the trimming. I was there to help pick up the branches and his helper. As we were working we had a chance to talk with the young lady that lives there. She told us when the water came into her home, her and her daughter ended up swimming to the main road. I didn't; take any pictures of the damage in the home. But there was a pile of furniture and stuff laying out side. Plus she told us that there is still no power. There will not be any until a electrician comes in and replaces all the switches and outlet. They are all water damaged. It is a very sad to hear all of the folks that had the same problems. I didn't take any pictures along Marsh Road on the east side. All along there most of the homes have the same problem. water damage in their homes and no power. There was dumpsters along the road for all the furniture and stuff that got damaged.
My friend, Billy and his family got their power back on after 17 days, they didn't have any water damage.
As Calvary has gone back home, I stayed for a couple of nights more. This is still Monday, I think. So as lunchtime came along. I know there was someone that brought over with them tuna fish and all the fixings. So we got some of the staff together and we had a nice lunch.
These are the bunk beds that we were sleeping on. You can see I added another mattress. It was okay, I know I would be back in my bed in a couple of days. It really was fun and even enjoyable to work along side my fellow coworkers again. We all have different gifts and just getting caught up a little is rewarding enough.
I stayed here until Tuesday. Then on Tuesday afternoon I rode over to Tim and Felicia's home for the remaining days.
