Cleaning up and moving on...

On Tuesday, around noon, the skies grew very dark and we had a "midwest-type" storm complete with straight line winds and driving rain. We had two very large branches break off from a tree close to Pastor Jose's house (our neighbor). There were also some power lines that went down and damage at the local airport. This morning, as the Hillcrest bus was packing up to leave, the cleanup crews arrived and started cutting up wood.
Meanwhile, over at the church, the kids were getting ready to leave for their next destination, Phoenix. Well, some of the kids were busy and others were playing...
The boys were a big help as they packed all the luggage and sleeping bags in the compartment under the bus. (Is this bringing back any memories for you former Hillcrest choir members???)
Unfortunately, the weather was cool while the kids were here in SoCal. Of course, it will be beautiful and warm this weekend, but they will be on their way back to MN.

We had so much fun when the band came to the NW and had a concert at Faith. We had a house full of boys and had a great time playing Apples to Apples and PS2!

I am glad you didn't have more damage from that storm. God is good!
