Summary
Bill is disappointed that Bonnie doesn't arrive with Roger and Catalina, but is happy to have their free labor for another day. He has no problem with them leaving the RV at the campground the next time they need to head north. The bathhouse is quickly finished the day after their arrival. Bill thanks them, saying he could find them more work, but that it isn't necessary.
The couple have trouble finding a good work location in Gulfport. There is no sign of the Habitat for Humanity group they were with before and the volunteer center has moved. They are passing through Pass Christian to see the changes from their first arrival when Roger spies his Amish friends. They welcome him back and have no issues with a woman carpenter. Catalina is a bit nervous over their differences, but is philosophical thinking about how strange the Amish would find a nudist camp. She is very impressed with their work ethic. As day follows day, they find themselves an integrated part of the new team.
