Some thoughts encountered

Hello Everyone,

I hear that there are tornado warnings in wisconsin which makes me kind of happy to be down here. :-)

I was down here last year and thought it was about time I put in my input on the things ive seen and how things are different. Driving into town it looked as though things had really changed but then we saw the same boat and chair sitting in the ditch, they hadnt been moved yet. Getting into the neighborhoods it really hit me that things are getting better but there are still houses boarded up and only a few people are living in the neighborhoods. There is still a lot of work to be done here. One thing stuck out this year as we were driving back from our bowling excursion, when we drove into the city last year, it was dark. Many of the neighborhoods didnt have lights and on the interstate it was just dark. This year there was, for lack of a better word, a pleasant glow over the city. Many neighborhoods have power again and more people have moved back. It is good to see that things are changing but sad that things need work. I encourage everyone to listen to our stories when we get back and just pray for the rest of the work we have to do here. Tomorrow is our last day of work and then its time for the two day drive home. *w00t*

Keep praying for us and we will see you all very soon!
