Trailer and Drivers arrive safely . . .

Around 4 pm the cargo trailer and drivers arrived safely. Ron and Max were a sight for sore eyes. It was good to see them ok after a scary blowout of the left front tire. Both wives arrived about the same time as the trailer, all had smiles on their faces at the reunion. Just a few more tasks to complete this trip. I will make contact with the Smiths and Corely's to see if they are close to home. Keep them in you prayers.

It is good to be home. . .

It is wonderful to be back among family, friends and the normal surroundings of Modesto. Relief work has a wierd topsy turvy nature that gives one a since of the temporal nature of this place. I prefer to think things are solid and firm, even though I know they are not really that way. I am expectantly waiting to see the trailer and truck pull in sometime today. Ron and Max are my heros, I was willing to drive the 2200 miles home, but my o my I was tired. I cannot wait to here their stories fromm the rode. Reflecting on the trip it was good to see our response to the needs of SE Lousianna. People needing hope were brought some by willing Christians from Davis Park. I am thankful for the many talents exhibited while we were serving at Hilltop. In a few days we will have a Team meeting to talk it all over and see what other's impressions were, then we will record what worked and what did not for the next trip. I'm gearing up for the next trip whether it is our neighborhood or across the country. I cannot wait to attempt to make a difference, one person at a time.
More to come later, I will start posting pictures and videos as I have time.
