Today started off as a normal day here at Mission on the Bay. It started bright and early at 6:00 A.M. Then after breakfast it was off to my worksite. At the worksite we are working on a house that was ruined by the hurricane. We are doing dry wall. The family that will be living in this house is very deserving. Over half of the population here left after the hurricane, but not them. They rode out the storm in the back of a bus, and lived in a storage area for the last 5 years. It is sad to still see destruction today from the storm 5 years ago. It just says how bad it really was and what these people go through everyday. Now just recently the oil spill is icing on the cake for a tragic 5 years for this area. We all have been able to witness the oil spill firsthand. The residents here remain optimistic about the oil not reaching land. However, I am not sure I am by seeing just today how close the oil is reaching. I guess all we can do is keep hoping and praying for this area and people.
