Well, this was our first full day here in Moore, Oklahoma.
The weather was beautiful (very hot) and the kids loved playing with the some of the other church kids in the huge grassy lawn in front of the church...
The church gym is where all the donated supplies are stored.
The distribution hours are from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday; there are boxes ready for the people who come in, to fill with the things they need.
Yesterday Dad and a few of the boys went to check out and get some pictures of the devastation.
This is beyond anything we have ever seen.
The destruction was so much more than I thought it was going to be - there were whole suburbs, gone! All that was left was giant piles of people's belongings and house materials.
It was awful seeing all this. You people walking around, and you take one look at their face, and I've never seen so much sadness and sorrow... they have lost everything! Their homes, their belongings, and for some, a loved one...
The sign on this garage door says, "HE is our shelter in a time of storm, God bless Moore OK."
We are going to do some work for the church tomorrow, and then start working with some of the other Disaster Relief Organizations...
