Dulac Mission - VIVA.....as we return home!

I write this blog at home on my family's computer. We are all back in Baton Rouge now.  I think we are all glad to be able to sleep in and relax. On Friday morning, last checks of bags were made, and everyone said farewell to the place we had called home for a week. Our ride back was relatively uneventful, with one stop for gas, and another stop for restrooms.  Many tried to sleep, but only a few were successful. Robert was a little late, after convincing Mr. Ken Musick to go fishing. But other than that, no hold-ups. So we arrived back to BR at 10:30, only to realize no one had keys for the friendship building, and no way to get all of our gear inside. Fortunately, a key was found fairly soon. The parents waited patiently though. Some even acted happy to see their children again. So there ended our adventure in Dulac. But now we look forward to more of a vacation in Panama city for Big Stuf newt week. It's been a pleasure writing this blog. I'd like to thank Mrs. Nancy for volunteering me to do this, Mr. David for his guidance, and everyone else for their input. THis was only my first year, but it won't be my last. So goodbye, and VIVA!

This is the end of a great week in the Dulac Community.  We had over 40 youth and adults that served the community at times during the week.  We did construction, building porch covers at two locations.  We cleaned and stained the ramp walkway at the community center.  We stained a porch at a local resident's home.  We did Fiesta VBS for the community childreen, including some pick up and return services.  We cooked and provided a Jambalaya dinner for a community gathering to close out our week.  The kids, young and old had a great time serving and God provided a gift to us all!
Viva till next time!
