Our crew wanted a job that they could interface with the family . . . yesterday they got their wish. The Stewart family rode the storm out in their house on the bayou. Why? Because their eldery neighbors did not have anyone to care for them. These people risked everything for their neighbors and friends. Water got 7.5 ft in their home, they were worried and anxious for many hours until the waters finally started to subside. The problem they faced was lingering water, it stayed for days and days. Everything in the lower house was ruined.
Family interface . . . The Stewarts are dealing with many emotions. Loss of possesions weighs heavy on their minds, additionally they are dealing with the death of their 28 year old daughter, who died in a tragic auto accident. Compunding this is her husband will not let them see their grand children. Our team responded well to the task of personal nurture. They sat, listened and hugged this family and at the end of the day Rose Galloway prayed with the family.
The crew is out on a tough job this morning, out near Waldron Joesph's house. The crew looked tired this morning but are out hard at work on the final day. We pull out tomorrow. The Redshirts came, saw and did battle with Katrina, our goal was to leave a little bit of Jesus behind. I know that has happened.
The drive team will lunch today in Albqurque, NM. Keep them in your prayers.
