School Experience
Today we took 2 Penske trucks to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi to deliver supplies to two schools. We first delivered to the highschool. As we drove towards the school, i noticed some workers to my right, and i also noticed a sign that said church of christ relief workers. Just past this was a van that said Kanawha City church of christ! I couldn't believe they were here.
I began looking back at the workers outside and i noticed Debbie Derenberger's red hair. It was awesome how God allowed us to run into them at the right time.
After delivering to the high school, we went to the elementary school a few miles away. Both schools we delivered to were badly damaged and many classes were being held in portable classrooms that Fema had set up. Hundereds of desks and chairs were stacked outside of the schools. The teachers watched as we unloaded the trucks and were soooo thankful to us for bringing the things we did. They said this was the best delivery they had recieved so far and that the school and the children desperately needed them. I spoke with two second graders while they were eating their lunches. One said that his home had no 'water or mud," but his roof was damaged. The other said he was living in a camper because his home was flooded. A teacher said she was living in a trailer at her mother's because she had lived right along the beach.
The devastation in this part of Ms was some of the worst I have seen. Every business and home I saw was almost or completely destroyed. Please pray for this area.
God Bless!
