unbelievable
just feel like i've been watching a horror movie the past few days. the news is showing a side of our city that i could've never imagined. the looting, fires, utter chaos is scary. who knows when we'll be able to make it back to our home? we haven't heard much from the seminary. we know that the last time we heard there was only 3 ft of water, but much has changed over the past couple days. it is so surreal. for now we're still in houston with friends. God has been watching over us. we are considering heading back to Hammond, LA. our pastor is there and we have purchased 2 generators...we will likely live with them the next few weeks (months?) at least there we'll be closer and able to minister to the commmunity in Hammond. our new church building survived the storm.
please pray for our city. from what we know, our "stuff" is ok...but that's not really important. what's important is the lives that have been lost...the history that is wiped out, the buildings that will never be rebuilt, the lives that are forever changed.
praises:
we are ok! safe, dry, etc.
we live on the 3rd floor so our posessions are probably not wet.
we both still have jobs that are supportive and understanding.
requests:
asah's truck (likely floating around New Orleans?)-no insurance, just liability
the Baptist centers that i work with. cannot get through to them. probably damaged, just don't know how much.
our good friends amy and mallory gabriel. amy had to stay because she is a nurse at Childrens Hospital. they are stuck in the hospital. she describes the situation as "way worse than we are seeing on the news"
we'll keep this thing updated as much as possible.

We think that Stephen's car is probably floating around as well. Fortunately we kept the full coverage because of the time it got broken into. Unfortunately, we are on the bottom floor of our apartment building and are sure that it's completely flooded. Fortunately, we have flood insurance. Unfortunately, we did not get every single irreplaceable possession. The good news, though, we didn't like the couch too much, and my wardrobe could have used some updating. I just feel sick to my stomach every time that I watch the news. It's just all so horrible. Who knows when Asah and I will graduate now. By the way, the last we heard from Ike the telephone guy was that the seminary had 8 feet of water. Ya'll keep safe if you travel to Hammond.
