Well, I’ve told you a little about what we’re doing here, but not much about life. Mike and I are living in a duplex (Phyllis’ house). We are in the upstairs, which is still a work in progress, but it is livable. We were on temporary power here for the 1st week or so. That meant we had enough power to run the A/C (praise God!) and a few lights here or there. We didn’t have any power in the bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom – so we got creative with extension cords. J
We got the electricity connected last Monday and were very excited about that! We still don’t have hot water. Our shower quit working for a few days last week – but we got it working again. After that, I was praising God for cold showers!! J I had to laugh at myself the other day – I stuck my hand in the shower stream to test the temperature of the water before I got in – I guess I thought it was supposed to warm up?!?! J
We have been working very long hours the last 2 weeks – putting in 12 to 16 hours most every day. We were able to get caught up on sleep a little this weekend and even had a couple hours this afternoon to rest – yeah!!!
Please pray for us and our staff:
· That we get quality sleep
· Health – that our bodies don’t get run down
· That we are able to protect our Jesus time and not try to run on our own strength
· Safety as we travel around NOLA and serve in different communities
· That we listen to God and hear His voice above all others
