Hello Send Team,

We are sitting in the Break Room waiting to start our first orientation. Everyone arrived without any problems yesterday. We met the 6 people on the team from West Newton, PA and settled into our bunks. Because there are only 7 women and 9 men, there is plenty of room to spread out in the trailers. We also met Pat and Chester who are our Presbyterian Disaster Assistance hosts. Today we woke up to beautiful clear, cool skies. We all attended church at 10:30 in their lovely sanctuary. After church we headed out to see Galveston. We had a great lunch at Gaidos, a restaurant on the Seawall. After a stroll on the beach we drove around the island to get oriented for our work tomorrow. We will start working tomorrow at 8:30 am. Everyone is ready and excited to get started. We have been told that we will be removing drywall up to four feet. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for this opportunity to serve in Galveston.
