Tornado Relief




It has been a crazy couple of days here in Ohio.
Sunday, we only had sacrament meeting.  The rest of church was cancelled so we could help in one of the areas of our stake that was hit by the tornados a week ago.  We went to the Delta, Ohio area.  It is amazing the amount of damage caused by natural disasters!

Thanks, Jill, for watching James so both Jon and I could go help with the clean up.  We mostly just moved trees and brush out to the side of the road so the county could come and take care of it.  It is amazing to me the resources the church has readily available for natural disaster.  As you will see from the pictures, all of the members of our church got yellow T-shirt.  Plus there was all sorts of equipment, like chainsaws.  There were also hygiene kits to deliver.  Local businesses also donated work gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, and band-aids (along with other things).

Here are the pictures I took while we were there.
