Well, David has been gone for a week now. I got ahold of some pictures from the area that they are working in. I have one of the pictures of the roof of the church building they are repairing on my Xanga site. http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=CRudey David said that this building has become the central distribution site for supplies to the city.
Two or three semi trucks drop off supplies there every other day or so. David and his dad have been going to the Red Cross tent nearby to get their meals, and the Salvation Army has set up showers for everyone to use. They have met other volunteers from Colorado, Chicago, and the surrounding southern states that are using the same facilities.
David said that one lady with a home in the neighborhood decided to go live with some of her friends and GAVE her house to another family whose home had been destroyed by a falling tree. David and his dad helped fix up her house for them. It's so incredible how generous the people are being down there! Oh, and David's oldest brother Don, who lives in San Antonio is bringing a truck load of wood over to them this evening since usable lumber is scarce where they are. Hopefully they will have enough to finish the work they want to accomplish while they are.
