Final Day @ Trinity
Greetings to all from I-55 Mississippi!
Today at Trinity we finished the grouting on the tile that was installed yesterday one hour before we planned. We received additional help again from camp restore crews, thank you Walt!
When we arrived to New Orleans on Sunday we knew we had a job to do but to accomplish this huge project but as our closing devotion reminded us
Genesis 12:1-2 (NIV)
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
He did each and everyone of us worked even though we were sore and tired and completed the task at hand.
I just wanted to give you all a little update and I will post pictures a little bit later.
Peace to you all

Day 4 @ Trinity
Greetings all from New Orleans La!
Ah I could say three words and be done with the post tonight,,, God is good!
How ever that would not be like me to stop there.
It just amazes me how things can change in a 24 hour period,thank you for the prayers! Today we had additional help from camp restore due to the am rain and with the grouting,thanks Sean,Nate and Lauren YAY!!!!
The sanctuary,front entry,2 bathrooms and the hallway are tiled! We stayed till about 4:45pm tonight to finish up thanks to Laurie and some awesome tiling she did all week.
Sometimes there are things that are out of your control and even though you want something so bad it just does not happen and you give thanks for what you have and continue on.
This project is been proven time and time again that it is a God thing,no really finishing the tile (my goal) happened today when it shouldn't have and there are many more stories to go with this ....(a later date)
Tomorrow we will finish the grout of the tiles put down today and then have a devotion and on the road to Illinois.
It has been a great week and thanks to all the spouses who let us come down here ,again if it was not for their support of this mission as well it would not happen.
Today also we had time to shoot a little blurb as we caught Shelly in a ,shall we say yelling moment which turned out to be hungry......

Work Day 3 @ Trinity
Greetings to you all!
Today marks mid week,the half way slump the steam just starts to run out.
Today was a tough day at the Trinity with no supplies yesterday and goals that I (not the group) would like to have seen get done makes you appreciate the group you are with for support.
It's funny how when you go on a mission trip you ask yourself "whats your purpose" what's your reason ?
If you remember from a few weeks ago when I asked "what's your purpose"? Well, today I know my purpose this trip is to get as much done (a goal) that I can in just one week,and sometimes that's not Gods purpose. So I can be thankful that the crews we have are great workers,they love their Lord and love to serve,amen!
Today's progress we completed the sanctuary floor to about 90%. The back needs to be done about 33"X35'.The grouting is about 70% complete on the same area.
Tomorrow the plan will be to finish the grouting we have and move the operation to the front entry way and the bathrooms and complete the grouting by Friday afternoon.
Thursday marks our last full work day as we prepare to wrap it up on Friday and head back to Illinois.
As you look at the pictures you can see the work that was done today.
So that wraps it up for today my knees are sore and wrist hurt as well but it;s all good!

Today was our second day at Trinity working on the tile with a minor set back,,,,,we ran out of tile at noon! Yup that's right the home depot dropped off the order about 4:15pm today...but it's all good!

Day 1 at Trinity
Greetings to you all!
Today was our first work day at Trinity to start the tile job of aprox 4500 Sq Ft .
Mike got us going on the right tile with a awesome lay out of the tile in the sanctuary ! It started out some what slow due to the fact we didn't have all of the supplies as of 8:30am yikes! But it was all good they arrived shortly after that....The tile are huge about 18" X 18" and are very awkward to handle .
See the photos below of the progress on the tile and also the video on the drywall progress!
As you can see it is a big area our hopes are that it stays true meaning the grout lines stay on track!
The video here is the progress of the drywall shot today.
So tomorrow we get started on the tile! YAY!!!!

Day 2 - Arrival In New Orleans
Greetings to you all from New Orleans .
We have arrived today around 2pm to a warmer climate of 75º and over casted skies!
We hit the streets running with a trip to restore trinity to lay out the floor for tiling this week. Here are a couple of pictures of what has been done since we left on the 14th.
This is the entry way from the back of the church that is complete.The upstairs is coated and needs to be finished.
We are looking forward to getting started tomorrow and are going to start just a little early from the past due to the fact were on a mission.....and would like to get R done!
