REBUILDING: Maybe Actually Rebuilding?

Lori wrote earlier and said that we (okay I have nothing to do with it....THEY) have official progress on their home. A location has been secured for sure, for real, for not changing again. There's something about knowing you have an address, even if there's nothing on the lot, that makes it seem a little bit more real. IF they don't have bad weather today (which I hear is a big if) - the construction people will start digging the basement. That is very exciting news!

Cassie is on the volleyball team again this year and last weekend, her team won their first four matches in two games each. That put them in a championship, which they won in three games. I hear they changed their huddle chant from G-H-S (Greensburg High School) to G-P-H-S (Greensburg Portable High School). Love the humor! There are 22 girls on the team - which is excellent - especially considering the size of the school. Lori said at least 20 are in temporary or FEMA housing.

They're continuing to have church in another town and last week, Lori did a children's church during the sermon. Because they're meeting in a school, there's no space for Sunday School, so there's really nothing for the kids at the moment. Lori said a lot of the kids in their church come from outside Greensburg and therefore church is the only way they were directly affected by the tornado. Lori wants to make sure they still feel a part of things despite the changes.

So things are looking up - but it's still a long road and I'm sure they'd still appreciate your prayers!
