Hey Y'all!!



Hey Yall what up in California where there are no bugs!

It is day two in the great state of Louisiana, and everything here is going swell. Did you know that Louisiana is the number one state in oil production? Crazyness i know! Also in Louisiana there are many critters that the youth are not found of such as; snakes falling out of trees, ant that will make you strip, ( the only way to get them off of you is to take off all of your clothes), Aligators that you can not out run and oh yeah, them DANG MOSQUITOS! It is a totally different world out here, this really is an eyeopening experience.
It was our first day on the job today, but unfortunately we were not able to work for long. The day started off with breakfast as a group, fallowed by meeting in the church for orientation, later on the group leaders went to vist the sights and got acquainted with the families whom homes are getting restored.
Our house needs quite a bit of work, we are going to be able to demolish a bathroom and try and rebuild it all with in a week. Now I have to tell you all about the man of our house Martin. Martin is this great fellow with great stories. He had this one about how he had a racoon that would fallow him around and do what ever h said he was trained and tamed to do what Martin wanted. Martin would call for the racoon to get in his truck and he would listen. While he was in the truck he loved to play with the windows so he would ride e street with the racoon rolling up down the windows. The neighbors would get a kick out of it.
Well now it is time for us to go do group bonding, sing songs, and get to know people better. Stay updated with our trip by checking the blogs daily. Talk to yall tomorrow.

In Peace and Love ,
Kelly Corrine
