Tornado in Joplin, Missouri~#4 from Jena6/4

 Tornado update

We have made it almost 2 weeks since the tornado.  First week was fast and furious.  People brought us donations and we made 4 trips to a church to deliver those and ours combined plus food.  Our church organization brought a disaster relief check to the church in Joplin we lost so Steve escorted them over.  The first Thurs. when Steve was over there, he had to take a search and rescue worker to the hospital because she had been ran over by a deer.  Strange, but true.  We also began cooking food for people to take to workers cleaning up.  About 300-500meals each day on top of our evening meals.  Been quite busy.  Had some meat donated this week to help cook.  Supposed to be a 2 hr. trip, but turned into 4 hrs. because the truck Steve borrowed had the battery die plus other complications.  All worked out.  Also helping organize other volunteers in clean up and getting a place ready for a blind man and his bed ridden wife to stay.  There’s more, but I’ll have to stop for now or I won’t wake up for church.  God bless.
