Oct. - Nov. Grand Isle Trip Daily Updates # 1

I will attempt to post an update daily or at least as often as I hear from Brian so that you can keep up to date with what's going on with the relief team and their efforts there.

All 9 of them got off safely and without incident last night. As they posed for a team pic someone said they looked like they were ready to take off on Apollo 13 or something. And they did! Those orange vests .... I dunno.

This morning (Sunday, Oct. 30th) Brian called at 7:40 to say that they were making good time. They were in Meridian, MS at a Cracker Barrel and were enjoying a good breakfast. They plan to go to Sunday School at the Northpark Church of God (that is where the first and second relief effort was) and to visit briefly with Pastor Earl Wheatley. It must bless the people there to physically see a group from Ohio (or anywhere) coming back on such a regular basis. This will be the third time in MS since Katrina hit although there is no direct relief effort in Meridian this time, just seeing the team back again and knowing that they have not been forgotten will be an encouragement I'm sure.
