Please pray for the people in this area. No precipitation would be ideal and snow is better than rain. It is ABSOLUTELY amazing to see all of these people here to help! There are so many college students, older people who probably should not be working this hard, and lots of couples and families lending a hand. It is hard not to be anxious and worry when you see all the business going on outside your door. I am really worried for the neighbors. We really hope their dikes will hold the water back. Lots of great people in this area!

People wonder how they can help...some people can't do the physical work but you could offer to watch people's kids so they can get out there and help. Karen and Keith came over and watched the kids and Andrea's kids so we could work. I could barely walk last night, but amazingly I can walk!! We hope to head out again tonight if we can find a sitter. Well, at least one of us will be:)
