Hump Day

Another cold morning -- 34 degrees -- but all of us were grateful not to be in Connecticut, where the windchill was reportedly zero and below. No wind today, and brilliant sunshine, so the day actually seemed much warmer than it was.  Two great things to look forward to today: Wednesday means treats from the Vietnamese bakery and the evening prayer service at Main St. Missionary Baptist Church.


Jim"s team set to work in earnest to take advantage of the fair weather to continue putting on the siding, while  Min, Hungdug and Sentai finished the underside of the elevated structure, and Rita squirted 8 pounds of caulk around the edges of the siding.






Meanwhile, Doug's group pretty well wrapped up hanging drywall in their house and started on exterior painting.  


"Look, Ma, I'm on scaffolding!"

The always-reliable St. David of the Pastries arrived at both worksites promptly, bearing turnovers oozing with cheese and fruit filling.  




For Tara, it was just too much...


It's a testament to our commitment that we could actually drag ourselves back to work after these treats.

Dinner tonight is burgers and dogs, courtesy of Dr. Ron, Hal, Rick and assorted others supervising.  Then it's off to Main St. Missionary Baptist Church for our annual visit with Pastor Haynes and his parishioners, who always give us a warm welcome.  This time, David introduced our group with special mention of our Korean partners, who brought their own greeting.  Gary Williams once again delivered an inspiring message, and we were in fine voice on Is It I Lord, accompanied by Ryan on BBM's new guitar.




Another great day in Biloxi.
