So here I am on my first full day in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Im here with City Team Ministries, helping out the community here. Im so excited for the week ahead and for the opportunity to meet people, work with them, and hear their stories... The people here have gone through so much and there's so much to do. But at the same time as I get to meet and interact with them im putting a face and a story behind the pictures I've had in my mind these past few months. These are some of the kindest most loving people I have meet, and its only the second day =0). I was giving a tour of the area right along the waters edge. It was unbelievable site to see. I never imagined the type of destruction that there was out here. I know I've seen pictures on the news and stuff, but nothing can prepare you to see things in real life. So please just have the community here and everyone affected in your prayers. I know that there's been great lose in this area but I know that God is doing some amazing things in this community and in the hearts of the people. I cant wait to see what God has instore for this trip. I hope you all are well back home, you all are in my heart and prayers. See you soon.
