The Great Flood






Well, as most of you have probably heard or seen on the news, the midwest is under quite a bit of flooding. Luckily, although we are living right along the Mississippi, we are too high to get any direct flooding in our home (thank goodness). However, our water supply may be cut off and all the homes near the river are in trouble. The weather has been really nice and it's hard to believe that there is potential disaster so nearby. This last Sunday our church was canceled (after sacrament) in order for people to go help with sandbagging. The National Guard has been called in and they are staying at the highschool which is a half a block away. It is so wierd to see a convoy of Army trucks driving by. For the last two nights I have taken Rylan for a walk past them and he gets so excited to see all the big trucks.
