Garden Project 09′ Ready to Plant!
June 15, 2009
Saturday, April 11th 2009 was a day that most of the men at the Opelousas Lighthouse Mission will never forget. It was a day of hard work, great fellowship, and a ton of teamwork.
We started about 8:00 a.m with the plowing of the ground, and then followed that with the making of the rows. We took a break for lunch, then pressed forward to complete the preparation stage of the garden.
It was a beautiful thing to see the teamwork and the work ethic of the men at the shelter. When one guy would take a break, another would step up and pick up the slack. We laughed, joked, and just enjoyed being a team working toward a common goal.
At the end of the day, the work was done but the memories will last forever. This was the beginning of an exciting project for our mission.
We want to also give a special thanks to the Prejean Family for letting us borrow their tractor and other tools necessary to complete this stage of the project.
If the weather permits, we will begin planting next week with the help of Southern University.
