The team has arrived in Gulfport!

The team left the hotel this morning around 9am and had breakfast. After breakfast, we headed down the road to Columbus, GA to attend worship at First Baptist Church, Columbus (Pete Park's home church)

After Pete was well received, we attended worship. At the end of the service the minister asked Pete to close with the benediction. Pete spent a good while meeting and greeting old friends. We had lunch with a good friend of Pete and his wife and college-aged son at Country BBQ. We all got fresh vegetables.

After lunch we got on the road and arrived at the National Guard Armory in Gulfport, MS around 6:30 CDT

Mike Haywood of the PBA greeted us, and showed us around and got us dinner which consisted of chicken patties, chili and rice, succotash, and homemade banana pudding!!!

Kenny Self has agreed to be the team leader for the construction effort. We will be pulling up carpet and replacing it with ceramic tile at the home of Mr and Mrs Peters

After dinner we went out trying to find our way to the Peter's home. It was not easy due to it being dark. We called the owner on the phone and we now know where we are going tomorrow and they are looking forward to us coming.

We returned to the Armory and loaded up tools for tomorrow and hopefully will rest peacefully.

Thanks again for your prayers.
