Emotions

Well today we continued to work on Mr/Mrs. Ruossel's home and we discovered that Christina and Dave spoke to them and told us that they were in tears while they talked to them. That is just something that makes this worth it. They are appreciated what we are doing and that means a lot. Also, Melanie bought us more drinks today and I believe that she is just so awesome. She does not have to buy us drinks, offer her small trailer to us but she does and I believe that is awesome. I also went on a solo mission with Dave today. We went to Ms Martha's home to finish up some stuff. Ms. Martha is Dave's favorite person down here and told me that when the flood came she had to stand on the roof of her home and had 3 feet of water covering her body. We arrived to the home and I got to look at the inside and I was just amazed of how it looked. The Kitchen is beautiful and Ms. Martha is just a sweet person. It was good for me to see a home that is almost complete. When I got back, I helped with the painting of the Ruossel home. For lunch we ate at this restaurant that surved Po Boys, onion rings, oysters and other things. It was very good but I was kind of bummed out because I wanted to play some Marvel Super heros, which was an arcade game they had. Oh well. Right now I am just so grateful for this oppurtunity because I am in the company with some very amazing individuals. I talked to Paul Hoyt before posting this blog and it was awesome hearing his word. He said that these individuals appreciate what we are doing, and appreciate that we take pictures and pick up a hammer. This is so because we are showing them that we truely do care about them and we can share this with others. They us working hard and to them that is a sign of hope and that people do care about them. They are not in this world alone and people do care. That is why individuals like Melanie open up their trailers to us. Volunteers are building these communites and it is good to know that I am apart of that. This is becoming very personal and I feel like these individuals are shaping me and I do truly do care about them; even though I have never met them before this.
