Joplin Mission Trip

Elmwood Community Mission Possible

August 1, 2012

Everyone got to job sites without getting lost. We had another short shower humidity rose greatly, never made the dust muddy. Daughters of woman we are building the house for came by with doughnuts, said how grateful they all were. Everyone learning to do the best they can with sometimes less than best preparation by our various Joplin connections. Our house is in an area of completely vacant lots for a couple of blocks. Excavation crew were assured there were no active gas lines, but unfortunately that was not the case. Even though the break of two inch natural gas line ended our day, we were very hot anyway. Everyone needs a little excitement to end the work day.

Day three, so enthralled by sunrise may make it a habit, not likely.

So excited to be up and going let's do three today, almost like Ernie Banks.
