Jeremy and Pastor Bixby took a gentleman back to New Orleans. Jeremy called me and said that New Orleans had been hit hard in the section they went to . . . I guess I’ll let the pictures tell the story. Downtown New Orleans obviously didn’t get it as much as this part did.

Here are just some photos from The Acadian Baptist Center–where we’ve been staying while the RV was being repaired. This camp center’s Eunice, LA, which is about 45 minutes from Lafayette. Thursday there was a chance to get to know the family who is moving back to Rockford, so you’ll see some photos of them. Friday, Jeremy and Pastor went to Baton Rouge to pick up the RV (the fuel pump repairs cost about $1200). We got our volunteer passes, too, so that we can visit and try to help the evacuees remaining in Lafayette.

We would appreciate your prayers as we travel today and tomorrow down to Lafayette, Louisiana. Here are some photos from last night’s commissioning service and the “downsized” reception following.

These cuties are our twin nieces, Bethany and Brianna. The kids liked the lizards Henry brought back from the work trip to Mississippi.

We are in “downsizing” mode, and we figured some “downsized refreshments” were in order. So, following the evening church service, we served mini-cookies and mini-drinks and gave tours of the RV.
