FLOOD!

At 2am, the police stopped by the church and pounded on the doors. They told everyone that the flood is coming. Erin heard voices and got up said, "there is a river flowing through our church." We got dressed and started filling sandbags and sweeping water away from the church. It had started to get into the basement of the church. After a while, we stood around and enjoyed our work of blocking all the doors. Erin and I went back to sleep. But someone pounded on our door again at 6am with water everywhere! There was 5 inches of water in the lower floor of the house. The water continued to rise. Erin made coffee for us as we struggled to keep out water and bail out the water that was already there. Pictures describe it best...

We are all ok. There is definitely damage to the house and to the church, but the neighbors and the people at the church are all fine. There is more rain in the forecast. Pray that it doesn't bring more damage!
