From Metairie, LA
From TE Dick Davies (ddmd3@yahoo.com), pastor of Grace PCA in Metairie, La.
We are writing from Spring, Texas, having arrived here on Tuesday, Sept. 7, to spend a few days with our daughter and her family. We were able to see the church in Metairie on Sunday and it is dry! No damage to the sanctuary at all. Just a few shingles missing. That's all! The Fellowship Hall does have some water, probably rain that blew under the doors, but nothing major. The house next door that the church recently purchased lost the carport cover but was dry as well! We were able to get to our house too and it was dry and absolutely undamaged. We'll just have to cut down a couple of trees, but nothing hurt our house! We are so grateful to the Lord for His grace!
We will be staying here in Spring until Saturday, when we will return to the home of one of our elders in Montz, La. (101 Scarlett Lane, Montz,LA 70068, 985-651-2901 or cell# 504-812-5709), staying there until we can return to our home. From what we could see of Kenner and Metairie, we think the recovery will be fairly speedy—compared to New Orleans. Please give thanks with us to the Lord for His mercy and grace to our church and to our family. This frees us all the more to help those that we know have flooded and had damage and will suffer hardship.
