We are alright

Hello! Just wanted to let everyone know that we are alright. Finally got our power back on Friday afternoon after being without for 26 days. We are at the airport right now waiting on a plane to come in and bring us some things. Once we get the internet back up at our house then I will post pictures of the storm. The islands got hit hard and it will take awhile for some of them to recover, but thank the Lord we came through with only minor damage to our house.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers.

Will post more when the internet comes on at the house.

It's a Hurricane!!!

We are now dealing with Hurricane Hanna. The wind has really picked up and rain is still coming down. We still have power so I'm fixing supper to make sure it gets cooked in case the power does go out. I have no batteries charged at the moment for the camera. The kids used up all the rechargeable batteries. We are charging some of them now and hope to get some pictures of the storm.

Please continue to pray for us and the others here also.

Tropical Storm Hanna

My last post said Let it rain, Let it Rain. Well, we are getting the rain right now. Tropical Storm Hanna is upon us. We are getting lots of rain and wind. We have limbs down in our front yard from the coconut trees. So far the power has not gone out, which surprises us. usually the power goes out with very little wind.

Our cistern is overflowing. Tim has filled up our three 50 gallon barrels. Plus we have filled up some more pans, etc with water. And the cistern is still overflowing. Praise the Lord for the rain!!

We are doing fine, but please pray for us and the others in the path of this storm.
