Wilma leaves these mennonites alone...

Ron and Elaine, working with MDS down in Florida, made it through Wilma, for the most part just fine:



"We are all fine here. The storm passed too far to the south to do much damage here. We had about 2 inches of rain, but when I compare the storm to the one we had in Winnipeg in July, well, Wilma (at our location) was no match. We had a few trees with broken limbs, no power for about 6 hours because of the downed limbs but nothing more. All the sites came through with no more than a few tipped Port-a-potties. So we are thankful to get back to a regular day today. We unpacked the office yesterday afternoon and got back on track. Now it is time to unpack our car again and begin the normal routine of Wauchula MDS. Our group from Indiana came early Sunday and spent the night with us in the church, as there were many tornado warnings. The first time when it was okay to sleep in church!
 
So to all of you who have been praying for safety, thank you and praise God for answered prayers. From Wauchula, Ron & Elaine"
