Gifts given and received















This is the house next door.







On Sunday, after church (and church is another story entirely!), we toured around to look at the sights and make plans for teams/materials/etc. But first we stopped at Tammy's house, our small project from last March. She wasn't home, but her dad, Mr. Davis, was. The house looked much the same from the outside, but he invited us in. We wrote about her March 15. What a difference in her home. Those of us who had been there before had trouble seeing through the mist in our eyes, especially as Mr. Davis told us how happy they were and how difficult life continued to be for their neighbours. FEMA no longer picks up garbage, now you pay $800-900 to have waste from your gutted house collected (and no, your insurance does not cover this cost).
