Grand Isle Disaster Rebuild 2024 – Week 4

Monday, February, 26, 2024

This was our last week on Grand Isle. It was a busy and productive week.  On Saturday morning we said goodbye and a big thank you to Ken and Michelle.  They worked on the fall and spring project here on Grand Isle.  The joke has been that they have been here long enough to vote in the upcoming municipal elections.  All kidding aside, they have been tremendous servants to the people on the island and they will be missed.  Cliff and Ann joined us a few hours later and we were so excited to have them join the team. We served with them here last year.

This week we continued to work on the exterior of Bozo’s home. There was lots of high ladder work painting the soffit and fascia, but our team was up for the challenge and completed the job on Tuesday.

We also continued the work on Jay’s house with the entire team working there Wednesday and Thursday.  The team completed the installation of the ceiling tile in four of the five rooms and the hall.  Next week’s team will just have to complete about ½ of the kitchen and that project will be completed.

Thursday morning we had Bozo’s Bible presentation at the start of our morning meeting.   Bozo also stayed with us for our morning devotion.  It was a great start to the day and a great way to end our week.

This was Anne and Max’s last week in Grand Isle.  We want to thank all our team members over the past month for their hard work and servants’ heart’s.  It’s been a great month working with the people of the island and Dean, our construction coordinator.  It’s truly been a blessing to be a part of the disaster rebuild team.

We departed the island early Friday morning and arrived back in Oneonta, AL about 5PM.  It was a long drive day but it sure was good to back.  Saturday was spent visiting with friends and we were able to attend our home church, Lester Memorial, Sunday.  So good to worship at our home church again.  We are now back in South Carolina visiting with Randy and Debra and getting a little rest.
