Today is Monday, August 10, 2015.  This was the actual first working day of our mission trip here to Bayville.  In Romans 12 (4-6), For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function.  So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.  Having gifts differing according to His grace, that is given to is, let us use them."

There are so many stories to tell already!  We are in the midst of drywalling in the house and garage of one of the MANY families affected by Hurricane Sandy.  We met the homeowner today.  His name is Frank (he is a disabled Army Veteran) and his daughter, Melissa we also met.  They are living in a retirement community-a one bedroom home, not far from their home.  But therein lies the problem still!  They are not living at HOME!  There are still 172 homes just in this community the people are still living elsewere.  As I wrote in last year's blogs, people are still homeless three years AFTER Superstorm Sandy hit the NorthEast.  We will be having supper with Frank, his wife, and daughter this Thursday at the host here, MorningStar Presbyterian Church here in Bayville.

Keep looking here-will given an update the end of each day -trying to capture some hilights of the day, the mission, AND the relationships that develop between us-AND those we come in contact with.  Another contact happened to us tonight-we'll keep on posting here.
