Today was the first day of actual work here in Mississippi. We are staying in Ocean Springs at Camp Victor, which is a very nice facility for 212 people to sleep and eat while they do work. As far as the work goes, we're in a town thats fun to say, but I can't even begin to spell. Maybe I'll try and take some pictures next time I'm out. We only got to work a half day today due to a bit of the Lutheran team leader not knowing what he's talking about. He said there would be stuff for us to do, but instead, we got to fill in holes with dirt and level out the ground. It was good to do, but not really needed. Then the cement truck arrived and we got to help pour concrete into large columns. Once that was done, we had no more work to do, so we went out to Biloxi in order to see the 3 houses that the Moravians financed and built in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity. We expected the completed houses to have residents, but they did not seem to have any. Apparently the Habitat project manager did not use very good quality materials, as we could notice a lot of mistakes. I hope who ever moves into those houses finds them to be good, because they will not make it through the next big hurricane. Such is life I guess.
More to come in the next few days.
