Days 2 and 3: Settling in and Preparing for the Week Ahead

Hi Everybody! It's Tuesday morning and everyone's rushing around as we get ready for the day ahead.  We've been uber busy, and therefore haven't had time to update the blog.  Better late than never though!

We arrived in the lovely land of Dulac on Sunday. The first group rolled into Dulac at about 2:30pm. Some families took a side adventure to New Orleans and didn't get in until later. We found out that there was another team of 23 members staying in our dorm meant for 40 people. We thought it was an April Fools joke ... it wasn't. Shortly after arriving, Mr. Goodman decided to go into town to get some medical treatment as his bronchitis was getting worse. He is currently resting up at a hotel in Houma and will hopefully be back to join us soon!

On Monday morning, we headed out to deliver the majority of our care packages.  We split into seven teams and headed out.  We met plenty of new, wonderful people and reacquainted with old friends.  From those conversations, we've found some jobs we're capable of completing.  We'll be fixing up a couple houses, helping clean out one, and just plain visiting one woman who would love some visitors and a bag of apples.  The LaCroix family (Nicole, Nick & Skyla) came and visited with us in the evening.  It was a joy to see them and see how the kids have grown.

Within the hour, we will be heading out to our job sites for the day and we couldn't be more excited! We also have the Family Movie Night event this evening, so it will be a busy day. Can't wait to share more of our adventures with you.
