TEXAS!

Hi Y'all,

We made it back from Texas on Sat. night. It was a great trip! 24 of us went down to help the recovery from Hurricane Ike which flooded most of Galveston Island. We got lots of work done, but most importantly spent time praying together and building community. Its like part service trip part retreat. Here are some pictures.

God Bless

Partial group shot on the beach at sunset. It is spring break after all, you didn't expect not to go in the water!




The house I worked at most of the week installing windows. You can see the inside needs a bit more work!


My favorite hole in the wall we passed everyday. I think a boat or something crashed through it in the storm.








We spent a little time in NH recuperating and woke up to some non beach weather!

  1. Looks like a great group.
    Was the water cold enough for you?
    Glad you are back safe.
