We are finally getting settled in to our new home. I will be getting pictures of our new home soon. It is very cozy and we thank God for the commendations. Let me start from the beginning on how we got here.
Back in January, 2006 God put it on our heart to come to New Orleans and do whatever it takes to help the people. We got in touch with an organization called PRC Compassion, gave them the date we were coming and they put us together with a wonderful Pastor named Teresa Reiger. Our date was set for April 2006 and were very excited to come and made preparations for the trip because the people needed us. Little did we know that we would be touched by the people more than we touched them.
So, April came and we went me, my husband Allen and our son Paul (who is still single) with anticipation of what we wanted to do but not know what was ahead of us. Needless to say when we got here it was beyond what you could imagine and much worse than what we had seen on TV. Pastor Teresa Reiger was a wonderful and compassionate person that loves the people and New Orleans. Her love so touched our hearts that I knew this was not going to be a one time visit. Little did I know that God was doing a work in my husband and also my son. We worked harder and longer that ,helping people more than we ever had before but, it was so gratifying nothing like we had ever known. ***More to come***
