• Hi Everyone!  I wanted to share with you a few pictures from our last days in Louisiana - working at the New Orleans First Church.

  
  

  

  
  

  Here's the New Orleans First Church from the outside.  It only had about a foot of water, which was enough of course to ruin the floors, pews, and partway up the walls.

  
  

  

  
  

  Here we replaced the dark wood paneling at the front of the sanctuary with sheetrock - all the way to the ceiling.

  
  

  

  
  

  Andy and Mr. Dysinger hanging sheetrock in the fellowship hall.

  
  

  

  
  

  Andy, Megan, and I had the job of replacing the vinyl siding on the gable end of the sanctuary.

  
  

  

  
  

  Mr. Leach and William finished the siding job the next day.  Doesn't it look nice?

  
  

  

  
  

  Catherine hanging concrete board in the bathroom.  We also rearranged some of the plumbing to improve the facilities.

  
  

  

  
  

  William and Mr. Leach replacing a light fixture.

  
  

  It was such a blessing to be able to help our brothers and sisters in Christ in New Orleans!  I wish we could have stayed there another week.

  
  

  This trip was one of the best experiences in my mission trip history.  I want to go again!
