Unforgetable

Last Wednesday will be a day that will be unforgetable in Alabama due to the terrible storms so many people experienced throughout the state. We were very lucky not only to be spared from the damage to our home, but to not lose any close family or friends.

On Saturday and Sunday, we had the opportunity to go to some of the most devastated areas and serve meals to those in need. Here is some of destruction in Concord:


We went with a small group to Concord to cook and serve meals. It was an unforgetable experience, we met so many wonderful and most gracious people. We were set up at the Command Center hub so we had access to people coming in and out of the area, along with the law enforcement officers and guards working.

We washed up all the pans late thet night when we got home, packed up again, and headed to Tuscaloosa early the next morning with a group from church.  We partnered with a local church, helped organize supplies for victims to pick up with Convoy of Hope, and made meals for lunch after their church service. 




We were completely exhuasted after the weekend, but extremely thankful to come home to our house. I hope that we will have an opportunity again soon to go back out to some of these areas and serve. And, a big thank you to Gigi for keeping Pierce while we did this! We would not have been able to do it without her help. I'm pretty sure Pierce had lots of fun too!!
