We're in Mississippi!

Well, I’m sitting in the social hall at St. Paul’s. After a 1 hour, 8 minute delay in leaving MSP, we were on our way to Memphis. We then arrived in Gulfport/Biloxi, on time, at 3:54 pm. After piling into two vans we headed east on I-10 to Ocean Springs and soon arrived at St. Paul United Methodist Church and the CORE camp. Ten women are in one tent, eight in another, and our three men in another. Dinner was rice with some kind of beef in gravy, green beans with potatoes (I think they were potatoes), and peach cobbler. Right now we’re waiting to meet with two parents of a Hamline student, Ruth and Bob, who have been here working and have stayed an extra day to talk with us about their experience. Tomorrow we go to New Orleans. Monday we start work here in Ocean Springs.
