new computer

We have a new Apple computer!  The graphics are great and everything is quick and easy to use.  Now to start posting things and putting pictures up.  I have a bad feeling whenever I sit down to the computer...It always takes a while and much trial and error to make things work.  I want to try and do more....hopefully I can be more successful.
Terry had surgery on his shoulder on Tuesday.  Pretty rough few days as he deals with the pain of healing. I keep ice in a portable machine that helps with the swelling.  Meds are such a blessing.  Hopefully he will soon be up and about and riding his bike again.  We are so happy to have Brian and Charlotte Reed here with us until time for them to go back to school.  Their family moved to Singapore this week.  They will be missed here in the ward.

Terry and the tornado relief trip

We left early Saturday morning at 5:00 am for Birmingham Alabama.

We met at a baptist church and got a work order to go to Pleasant Grove AL.

This is the first house we worked. I you have been in Columbus, or Atlanta then you know how thick and tall the trees are in the area. Pleasant Grove was no different. This picture is on the edge of the tornado damage area. Some of the houses and trees are still standing. We drove pick up trucks down into the back yard and loaded all kinds of wood and limbs and debris. Then we piled it at the curb in front of the houses for the city to dispose of.

This is the second house which was right next to the first house.

The rest of the pictures are from the more devastated area. There are miles of this area where there is nothing left. You can see where one house was moved about 30 feet off of its foundation and on to the drive way.
