Thank you Lord for taking care of the family and keeping me safe while I was away. It was soooo good to see my children on Saturday. They were glad to see me too. We all got together Saturday night and had Hawaiian Burgers. Hamburgers, topped with slice of ham, slice of pineapple and then swiss cheese. They were so good. And we ate in the backyard with Tiki torches all around. It was a bit cool though, nights are definitely fall..ish feeling. The days though are beautiful, warm and there is plenty of fall colors now. Thank you all for praying for the family these last two weeks. Laura and Kayla stayed at John and Ann's house; thank you. And Mary stayed at Nan's house; thank you. They had wonderful times.
My brother John finally got power back last Wednesday. He was back to school on the Monday before that but with generator fed power only. The real success story though was the fact that 37 other states sent power line crews to Houston to help with all the downed lines. What a great effort and meaningful way to help those in need. Johnny was very impressed and thankful. His house sustained about $700-1000 in damage. Not too bad considering.
Pray requests:
1) Kayla came down with Shingles, which is a form of the chicken pox virus but usually occurs in older people. It formed on her back about the size of silver dollar coin. She is on medicine and it is healing. Pray that no one else gets chicken pox or shingles. Our family has all had chicken pox.
She is doing well. She even ran her cross country race last Friday night and did well.
2) Hannah's nursing studies are going well. It has been challenging but she is setting her mind to doing well and we are so proud of her. Pray she would continue to enjoy it and be a blessing to her patients.
Also, Susan had borrowed a "Mr. Wonderful" doll (He always knows just what to say!) from someone several years ago. We are trying to find out who we got that from, so we can return it. If anyone has any leads, please email me. Thanks. We definitely had fun with this gag gift.

Hi Doug!
Glad to hear you made it back safely! We saw Leah last night. It's always wonderful to see her, we truly love our time with her as she is one of our family, as are all of you! I'll definitely say some extra prayers for Kayla. I understand shingles are not a very pleasant thing so hopefully it disappears real soon. Glad to hear Hannah is doing well with her studies, an extra prayer for her also. Take care.
Love, Lisa
