...a faith based organization of the United Methodist Church, helping families recover from Hurricane Rita.

   

Thursday

   

We hope everyone is doing well!  We had a super wonderful day roofing this morning and relaxing on the beach this afternoon! We continued working on the shingling all morning, and a few people worked on some sheetrock (from where a few feet went through the ceiling).

 

This afternoon, we drove about an hour to Crystal Beach.  We then rode the ferry across the bay to Galveston. In Galveston, we played in the water and had fun on the beach. For dinner, we ate some great seafood (and steak) and had a wonderful team dinner.

Tomorrow, we are going to try very hard to finish the roof (although, we still have a lot to do!).

As the week is coming to an end, we feel that our impact in the community has been substantial, but we are sad to leave with still so much work to be done.
