Dr. Steve it was great to talk on the phone with you, and I can't wait until we can meet in person.

In Christ,

Me too, Kenith.

Tell your elders I got a call today from Maryland from a Presbyterian Church that wants to bring a truck of needed items down. They want to involve their whole town in the collection.

I will PM you the contact information.

UPDATE:
A lot of the same. No power here. There are a view places that now have power, but they are few and far between.

I went to Grand Couteau last night and spent the eveniing with my family. I spent the night and worshiped with the PCA folks at the Church in Lafayette.

I am supposed to go back to work tomorrow. The refinery doesn't yet have power but they are working on it.

In Christ,
Kenith

Update:
I am back at work but we have a long way to go to get things back up and running. I came to work this morning but volunteered for the night shift so I went home and came back this evening.

There is now electricity here and there in different neighbourhoods. It is not yet available in mine so when we work off in the morning a number of us are going to a co-workers house that does have power so we can sleep in airconditioned rooms .

Looks like we will be working a everyday for a good while.

The family is doing fine in Grand Couteau; I'm at work and things are moving forward.

In Christ,
Kenith

Mr. Kenith, small world...does your family happen to be staying with the H. family? Sarah Joy H. is one of my sisters here in BR.

Tell Sarah I said hello, and I hope she is feeling better. Yes, my family is staying at Sarah's parents house. I joined them Saturday evening and we worshipped with the Lafayette PCA congregation Sunday morning. Paster Stan delivered a very good message.

He saw Rosalee, but Sarah did not come home for the weekend.

Dr. Mike is in town somewhere. I hope to get in touch with him today.

In Christ,
Kenith

Kenith - could you please give an update on your family, home and friends. I know it's been a couple of weeks and hopefully things are starting to get back to normal.

God bless,

Thanks for asking. Things are improving daily. Most stores are open. We did have a good bit of Christian support especially from the Southern Baptist. They did great work. The PCA als sent some folks in to help with our widows and families really hard hit.

We are still waiting on insurance to come by the house. We will need a new roof and garage, but our roof is tarpped and secure from rain. We've had power for a little more than a week and that has gone a long way to making things normal again. The local schools are supposed to start back Tuesday. They have been closed since before Rita hit a months ago.

We are well some folks here lost everything, especially those in the Parish (county for the rest of you) south of us. There is nothing left down there. The towns on the coast don't exist anymore. Some don't have one building left.

We are about twenty five or thirty miles from the gulf and that makes a big difference. This was our first direct hit from a major storm in 48 years. This time folks got out of the way and saved their lives, last time (1957) hundreds upon hundreds died.

oUR REFINERY IS LIMPING BACK INTO PRODUCTION OF GASOLINE (so we will see some savings at the pumps soon--I hope).

I am very thankful for your prayers.

In Christ,
Kenith
