Day 1 - Louisiana Disaster Relief Team

Today was the first day of our Louisiana outreach. As we first arrived, we didn't even have to see the people to see their pain. Basically, we could see the lives of the people thrown out on the streets. Their homes laid torn apart in piles of rubble some being their furniture and even pieces of family photos. As the day progressed, we went out to a home of a family where the wife is in a wheelchair and her husband was recently diagnosed with leukemia. We tore down the areas of the house that were destroyed because of the flood. Although there are times in our lives where we feel like our life has been destroyed just like the home was, there is always joy knowing we have hope in Jesus. I pray that we can share this joy and hope with those who are hurting here. - Martha Valadez (SMM Team Member)
