Biloxi Mission Team Day 2

Day two started out extra early because we forgot about the time change or because we just wanted to get up early. It was raining this morning and 37 degrees, the low today was 28 and the high 45. Is this really Mississippi?

Here's Mike and Alex doing the morning dance in the dining tent making their bag lunch, is this to stay warm?

Here's Marley, she's a crisis dog that's brought in to cheer people up. She's down here now and has been all over the place including the most incredible institution of higher education in the world- Virginia Tech!


The church had a special breakfast class this morning with James Dobson from focus on the family. Here's Chris, Mike and Scott happy from learning and an excellent breakfast (Marley helped too):

Here's a poster of Martin Luther reminding us to attend Sunday school. He looks like he means business!

We worked on a new house today in the Point in Biloxi. We pulled wires for air conditioning, cable tv and phone. The house was really neat and really old (they don't make floors and joists like that any more)! In this neighborhood there were 500 historic homes and we worked on the two that remain standing. The house next to this one had 29 people huddled on the second floor during the storm and they were saved, what a blessing. Unfortunately, now they have built casinos along the shore of this historic neighborhood.

Mike running wires, excellent pull!

Lisa running wire, nice expression...

Alex and Scott running wire and conduit for the washer and dryer.

Here's the house next door where 29 people were saved, see the sign at the roofline? That's where the waterline came to during the storm. It's about 30' above sea level.

A closeup of the waterline sign, what a neat house that's truly built to take it.

At night we went to the Shed for dinner, if you're ever at exit 57 on I-10 ou've gotta stop. They had awesome bbq and a blues band playing, a great place to unwind.
