Thanks to Jim’s able leadership — and passion for finishing what he starts — the Porter Street house is done: new sheathing, siding, wall and ceiling drywall, painting inside and out. All in 4 ½ days.

The homeowner, Miss Deborah, is thrilled, and everyone has a great feeling of satisfaction. 

Kitchen Chief Rita did a fabulous job as usual coordinating meals, and we had good help from our crew. Everyone agreed we ate especially well this week! Heartfelt thanks, Rita!

Katharyn did a bit of everything over the past few days, but each evening she acted as our spiritual leader, offering a carefully selected reflection and an original prayer before dinner. Thank you, Katharyn!

All that remains is the final cleanup at the mission house before we leave tomorrow at 8 a.m. We return home feeling blessed that each of us had the opportunity to be somebody for somebody here in Biloxi.
