Ocean Springs Trip

The trip to Ocean Springs has just been amazing; I have been spending most of my time in the kitchen serving food to the volunteers who have been going out houses, and the people who's houses have been destroyed by the hurricane. Earlier today we went out to look around and see some of the parts that had really been demolished. In some places there were just concrete slabs where houses used to be. We saw one house that had moved halfway into the neighbor's yard, over a fence. There were clothes, refrigerators, phones, doors, and almost anything you could think of just lying out in the street. It was really sad to see all of that. Several people had just set up tents in their back yard because they couldn't stay in their houses. The first night we saw two people sleeping on a couch on the side of the road, I felt so bad that I couldn't do anything. I will be sure to bring back lots of pictures. I will try to update more soon.
