A note from New Orleans

Ivan and Raegene King are just finishing 30 days in New Orleans with the Matthew 28 Project. The following is an excerpt of a letter from them.....

We be winding down this week and heading to Texas, this has been a real life adventure. I have cleaned the toilets, cleaned showers and mopped the floors for the last time. It wasn't a job that I anticipated but it was a necessary one. It just seemed right to have things a little cleaner when they come in for the first time. Ivan has really kept up with organizing the tools and we've tried to retrieve a lot of them.
We have met some very grateful people, we feel good about what we have been able to do here. Today I am taking chicken noodle soup to people that sit on the steps in the back and also to Mr. Brock. You will hear more about him later. Ivan was able to fix Debras's stool and leaking pipe and put in a bath room cabinet and trim a window for her. Her next wish is a water heater which Len is pursuing now. Oh! I took her some chicken soup too!
Just one more thing, the cat that you started feeding is getting fat. She is known as Jeff's cat, I call her J. C. for short. She eats a lot because she is going to have babies. Ivan says he isn't to found of cats' but he has fixed a place out in the back behind the house with a plastic dish pan and we put to old bath towels in it and placed it in a trash can for expected babies. We will get more food before we leave. I guess this is going be Woods Chapels mascot!!!!! A duty for all you come down here.
Thanks especially to our friends at WCC for making this mission trip happen for us, you are our encouragement.
All for now, Love, Ivan and Raegene

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
