A Picture is Worth 1000 words

No time for commentary. Pictures are worth 1000 words. The only thing that I would add that you can not experience through pictures is the smell. Everything in the house and on the island has a smell of sewage and mold. It is indescribable the destruction unless you experience it first hand.

Even though it is hard work and I am sure very sad to throw lots of your items away just remember God is Good and is going to teach you something through all this. God Bless you both through this hard time and we will be praying for you has you adjust to new things in life.
Love,
Chris and Mandi Ridenour

I've heard it said that wallpapering or building a house together is the biggest test of a marriage. Well, how about a hurricane? Wow!!! The pictures were incredible!!! I'm sure you will be stronger because of it. Your relationship with each other as well as with God will be strengthened as you work through the trials. Know that we will continue to pray for you and your neighbors. Please let us know if we can do anything to help, if you need stuff or money, or if our prayers will be the best source of assistance right now. God's blessings on you! Love, Darryl and Mindy

Hey John and Erika,

The slideshow was very vivid of all the work you have ahead of you. We do pray for you often and know you will be better people when you finally get all settled in again. Love you and feel privileged to be part of your lives - if only in prayer right now. Aunt Mary for the Wiebes.

John & Erika -
Got access to your site through Brenda Highbarger. Lots of connections here: Brenda is my son's mother-in-law, she was my library assistant, I took a few library classes with Marchel, AND we just moved to Bridge City Texas in July! We bought a house, had just really got unpacked and settled. In 2 months, I evacuated three time. We pretty much lost everything...but God is good. In the midst of this storm, we have seen his hand at work. We are praying for you that as you rebuild your lives, his foundation in your heart will set the tone for getting through each new day. Best of everything to you both!
