Arriving in Beaumont

We're here after another long day driving. We waited for about an hour on the interstate west of Baton Rouge. It turns out that there was a semi-truck off the road with part of the trailer back across the road. We've had our orientation and heard about our work for the day tomorrow. If the rain holds off, we'll be working on a fellow Disciple congregation's building that volunteers have been working on for the past 5 weeks. We'll be joined in our work tomorrow by 12 folks from National Avenue Christian Church in Springfield, Missouri. I think it is 4 adults and 8 Chi Rho kids.

We 've had excellent barbeque tonight for supper and are gathering supplies for tomorrow's meals. I'll keep things updated as I can. Right now, Glen and I are sitting outside a closed restaurant called Wings to Go piggy-backing off of their free internet service. I don't know what the deal is and whether I will be able to gain access in the days ahead. Check it out and I'll update it as I'm able.
