It has been eye opening to see the devastation still visible. It is apparent that many homes and neighborhoods were in less than perfect condition prior to Katrina.
On the positive side, many of the local people I met are upbeat. Families and neighbors are very close. New Orleans is their home. They have or are going to rebuild and they are not going to back off from that. There were many other teams working this week. It was overwhelming to hear the appreciation from EVERYONE we met. I see the willing workers and that expression of thanks are a sign of God’s love and an answer to prayers.
