We Are in Jackson, Tennessee

We arrived in Jackson on Wednesday afternoon, but we didn't do a ride around until this morning when we began our Needs Assessing. We have an area out in the country, so we ride from house to house and stop at each to ask about their needs after the tornado. We covered about 7 roads today. Some people had very good insurance and are well on the way to recovery with a new roof or new siding. Then the house next door has the whole top floor gone or the next house is gone completely. Tornadoes do amazing things! It skips here and there and takes what it wants. The stories we hear are also quite something and they tug at your heart. But this is the Bible Belt, and the people and their Faith in God is amazing! The huge trees that have been scattered around just leave you in awe. I hope to have some pictures in a couple of days. We have some appointments tomorrow for surveys, so I am sure we will hear some more stories. Doug's leg is holding up but it is swollen at night. Thanks for remembering us in your prayers. Love~ Doug & Mary
