Back at home...

Hello friends.

What a journey the past few days have been. I apologize for the lack of updates - the end of the trip was a busy one.

Wednesday
We continued our work with the Red Cross. We were all assigned to the Mass Care Unit. Amanda and I were stationed at the shelter, Travis and Jessie were stationed at the service center, and Bryan floated between the two making food deliveries. We conversed with the residents of the shelter and learned about the emotional and psychological damages the storm had on its victims. I will post some of my reactions to this later.

Thursday
Thursday was spent touring Atlanta. Travis and I toured Turner Field (Atlanta Braves) while Amanda, Bryan, and Jessie toured a local radio station (DAVE FM). Amanda and Bryan visited some other locations while Jessie, Travis, and I went back to the hotel to watch some TV. After a nice dinner at Ruby Tuesdays, we packed up our luggage and prepared for a long bus ride home.

Friday and Saturday
Friday and Saturday were spent traveling on Greyhound buses. I must admit that we were not pleased with Greyhound's services, but we arrived home this morning and we are glad to be with our families.

I will post more regarding my experiences later. Until then, Happy Easter! Remember, it is the Resurrection that redeemed us from the pit (1 Corinthians 15:17). I will be in touch shortly.

By His Grace,

Stephen
