Recovery and accident

"Typical home we are helping to fix up"
Praise the Lord for the new blessings we have received. One is that I have a new cell phone sent from our hq, two I now have an air conditioned vehicle, also sent from hq. Third we now have a couple of tv stations to watch as we were given an antenna to use and we can follow what is happening in the world.
The timing of the vehicle was great because yesterday Tallie, a girl that is a missionary with us had her vehicle damaged in an accident. One of our other missionaries was driving her truck and ran into another vehicle. No one was injured but the damage was pretty bad.
Of course I do enjoy watching sports and news so I am persoanlly enjoying these new "blessings".
Yesterday we did drive back to Biloxi. There we met a family who had come back to work on their home. It was pretty nasty. The water mark in their home was about nine feet. The walls were covered with black mold and the floor was caked with mud. They had an upstairs as well. When we went upstairs we noticed a table that had been broken. Apparently many people in the area had crowded into the highest spot in the area which was their home to ride out the storm. I would guess someone stepped on the table to get higher in the air and it broke under them.
We heard more gruesome stories of survival and sadly death as we talked with those folks and their neighbours. It was great to be able to talk with them and allow them to share some of the things on their hearts.
