Hurricane Help Reaction

The men of our church have been going down south to help Hurricane Rita damaged areas. Last month we went to Woodville, TX. The road to the Lions Club was blocked by lots of trees and the property was in bad shape. About 50 LDS men began to swarm the area. Onlookers said it looked like a swarm of ants. The road was cleared so that vehicles could get to the building and then all the fallen trees on the property were cut up and dragged to the street for pick up. It only took a couple hours.

Update: The Lions Club asked the missionaries in Woodville to come speak to them about the church and our helping hands program. After they spoke, they received a standing ovation. Hearts may be turning in East Texas.

That is so cool! You know, things in Livingston are pretty rockin',too. Four convert baptismssince you left, plus 2 re-baptisms, so things are picking up. It reminds me of the Standard of Truth...til the great jehovah says we;re done, it'll just keep getting better.
