Yesterday was my favorite day in Gulfport on this trip thus far. First of all, I woke up in a great mood ready to get back to work on the house that we had started the day before. It's always easier and more motivating to have a game plan for the day before you get to the work site.
Later that morning, our house owner came to visit us since we had left her a note about wanting to meet her. She was so sweet and appreciative of everything. She told us that she had lost hope waiting for help that she moved into her daughter's house around Thanksgiving. Shortly after, she got a call from Camp Biloxi and volunteers were sent. She was so happy to have us, and so trusting (you never know how much someone has lost) that she left the door unlocked for us to just walk in and begin our work before even having met us.
Later on, a man from Camp Biloxi came to help us figure out what to do with the siding on the house and his comment made my day. He told us he was so impressed with our prep work for painting and how appreciative he was that we had taken the extra time to do everything correctly. I felt like the time and tediousness of our prep work was validated.
