Our team served at 6 homes this week with LOVE as our motivation at all 6! Rather than share them all in 1 post, we will share about the families we served in a series of posts.
Ms. Cheryl's: We have been visiting Ms. Cheryl and her late husband Errol for 4 years now. In Feb. 2011, just a couple months after our last visit with them, Mr. Errol went to be with his Savior. This year, our goal at their home was to show Ms. Cheryl our love for her by helping her clean and purge her home of excess "stuff" and to repair soft spots in the floor of her raised mobile home. It was truly a joy to see the progress made at her home during our visit. Ms. Cheryl really has felt the love that we poured out for her this week.
Our prayer for Ms. Cheryl is that she will continue to heal from the loss of her husband and that she would take care of herself and her own medical issues. Ms. Cheryl is a former youth pastor that we love and care for; we look forward to seeing her on future trips to Dulac!
A team at play: On Saturday afternoon, just before returning home from our week of serving in Dulac, we took time to play by enjoying a Cajun Man Swamp Tour! This was a great cultural and education tour set in the canals and bayous west of Houma. The highlight of the trip was seeing an 11 foot alligator up CLOSE!
Following the swamp tour, we enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Big Al's, a popular seafood restaurant in Houma. With crawfish in season, many on the team learned to peel and suck the heads on this meal that takes a while to eat! The shrimp were fantastic as always!
Check back in a day or so, as we will continue to post about the families we served and as we share reflections from different team members about their Dulac experience.
