Although we have only been down in Mississippi for a half a week so far, it is already incredibly apparent how much of a hand the Lord has had in our trip. Even in the leadup to our trip, AIM and Keith have been incredibly communicative and helpful, and once we got down here that only increased. Getting a chance to meet the residents of the area and truly learn about them has been a phenomenal experience. Even in certain areas where we were unsure or didn't feel prepared, God has more than provided both for us and the people of Mississippi.

Everyone at Choctaw Church and on the worksites that we've been to have been incredibly hospitable! Keith has done a good job of acting as a local guide of sorts and ensuring our group gets the most out of the trip as possible. I look forward to what God has in store for us the rest of this week, and what he will accomplish through us.
