As we began work today, I was amazed at how much we accomplished. As more and more little projects were completed we began to get excited at the progress we had made. The guys I'm with are very capable with tools and have completed some impressive work. Connie .... our homeowner was able to make it to meet us and it was a very emotional experience. When she looked around the home she was so excited at what had been done. She was so grateful and shared some stories of her struggle to "come home." I was trying to imagine what it would be like to have your home and belongings totally destroyed and then not be able to return for 3 1/2 years. Tonight at the Olive Tree (The compound where we are staying) we had all the homeowners and families here for dinner. I had the privilege of performing a concert for everyone ....and God brought everyone closer with the laughter and crazy participation Sprout'n Shout involves. I am so glad to have new friends from New Jersey, California and New Orleans and to have played a small role in helping ease the burden of someone in need.
