What a wonderful week we had in Iowa. The accommodations at Marion First United Methodist were great. We were very well fed by a most capable cooking team from Wilmington, NC.
The house we were assigned to had electricity and heat so we were able to work in relative comfort. Everyone was kept very busy. We wanted to accomplish as much as we could while we were there. We painted rooms, stained interior doors, hung doors, painted and installed window trim and cleaned out the basement. The homeowner was very grateful and hope to be able to move back to his house after the holidays. Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. The food couldn't have been any better.
We got TV coverage and an article in the local newspaper too which we hope will help recruit more volunteers to the area. They have a long way to go in their recovery.
God was with us. We were protected by His travel mercies and noone was hurt at any of the jobsites. We received so much comfort knowing that we were serving Him by serving others in need. We thank everyone for the financial support and for their prayers.
