Our first chance to bolg;

Saturday Night we arrived 9 pm at Broadway Christian Parish in South Bend Indiana. Pastor Nancy gave us a warm welcome. Here is Nancy (2nd from the left) and our team.


We had heavy rains for our 5 hour drive, which turned into 8 hours because the interstate was closed due to flooding. We finally got to St. Paul's in Waterloo, Iowa about 10:30 pm.

1at day of work was in Belle Plaine, Iowa an hour South of Waterloo. We mucked out a basement for Pat & Dick. They are both in their 80's and live so far out that we could see for miles & didn't see not even one other home. Here is a picture of Pat in her basement. She was so greatful that we came to help her.
It is a BIG basement, there are 4 rooms down there. Man was that floor slippery with the mud & water. It was funny to watch each other skate acrosss the floor but it was also very dangerous.
This is the back of Pat's house & that door leads down to the basement. Notice how high the water mark is on the door. There was 7-8 feet of water in her home.

That phone I'm using in that little dog box really works in case you wondered.

Here are a few pics from our day. We will finish up at Pat's by lunch time tomorrow & head back to a job that is waiting for us in Waterloo. Speak of lunch, Pat made us a great lunch today, Goulash.

Check out the video I've attached. It is some live footage of Sonny & Charlotte in the basement.

Charlotte, where did you get that lovely jumpsuit?
