Lots of Pictures!

Hi everyone!

This is the first chance I've gotten to do a post directly from New Orleans (the rest have been tiny cell phone pictures sent to my wife, who has graciously posted them).

Here are a bunch of pictures from our first 4 1/2 days here. They're not in any kind of order, but hopefully this will give you a sense of what we've been up to:


The crew from Lawrence's house doing....something.
Lawrence's Angels?
These guys are really excited about this sheetrock.
This is what we spend 94% of our time doing....something with sheetrock.
I think this is probably her favorite hammer.
The ubiquitous mud and water bottle.
Deciding to taste the mud.
Grrrrr.
Hmmmmmm.
Peace yo.
Just happy to be here.

Spackle spackle spackle spackle spackle.

Some sort of spackling school?
Evening vespers.
Journaling in the evening watch book.
More spackling.
Spackling......but you already knew that.
These guys have become expert drywall cutters.
Nailing up the drywall.
Sad about something.
Mid-day calisthenics?
Playing cards in the downtime.
Circling up before starting work at the Great New Jerusalem Baptist Church.
He looks like a spaceman here!
Doug prying something or other into or out of place.
This is the mural from the baptistry at Greater New Jerusalem Baptist Church. The baptistry is on the second floor, and the water line in the building is still visible just above Jesus' eyes.

Here's a broader shot of the baptistry and mural, to give you a sense of how high the water was.

Learning to saw.

We're having lots of fun! More photos and updates as we can get internet access!
