yes...we have survived the wonderful mr. ike-monster. the LORD has been so good to us throughout the whole experience. no windows were busted, no trees fell on our cars or house, no leaks, etc. we have been without power since friday evening, and have therefore not been home since then. but we have such amazing friends and family who have been gracious enough to let us invade their space for large amounts of time. we stayed with steve and jen cuttino in montgomery thursday night until sunday night. and we've been with my parents for more than a week now. of course, it's been great to spend time with them and take a week to relax, but boy, are we ready to get back home and in the swing of things!
we sure do miss the students and have unfortunately, lost a considerable amount of time with them. when we left houston last thursday to escape the ike-monster, we were forced to cancel our first meeting on campus and our first week of small groups. :( it's going to be a challenge to get the students back on track and regain focus. please pray that the LORD will show HIS favor and that everything would be smooth.
please also pray that we would get power back in our house SOON! we love all of you!
