Update September 17, 2017:
Dear Friends, Please forgive me for not posting the remainder of our trip sooner. We had such difficulty finding internet access during this trip that I planned to finish posting when we arrived home. Little did we know that Hurricane Harvey was brewing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Less than a week after we came home, Harvey hit the coast of Texas. Near the eye of the storm, my mother and sister received minor damage in comparison to most. Family south of Houston received 44 inches of rain and a leaky ceiling. Another's car was flooded. David and I received 38 inches of rain at our house but remained high and dry. Unfortunately, many of those surrounding us were not as fortunate. As a result, we have spent many of our days since Harvey helping to muck out flooded homes and distribute needed items.
It will take months, if not years, for the coast of Texas to recover from this deadly storm. However, spirits remain high. It has been amazing to see the generosity of neighbor helping neighbor and the commitment from all of us to lift up those who need it most. By God's amazing grace, we remain Texas strong. God bless you all.
Now, let the post continue!
