More than 4 MILLION people without power. 10's of Billions of Dollars in damages and Elder Worthen is among them. Hurricane Ike strikes as Elder Worthen is evacuated North East of Houston. Kenne is staying with a wonderful family - the Meng family - for several days. They have taken precautions even in their area and are expecting power outages. They said that Elder Worthen has helped neighbors and friends board up their houses, he has climbed trees to cut limbs and helped prepare their home and family for the upcoming storm. The two areas where he has been located and was located a transfer ago are both considered to be dangerous areas right now. All missionaries have been taken out of harms way. It has been really fun today to hear from the Meng's. I have had two e-mails from the mission president, two phone calls and one e-mail from Kristin Meng. I am very grateful for their assistance to Kenne and his companion. What a wonderful thing for them to open their ho
me and kitchen :) to the elders. Sister Meng told me tonight that they have been trying to cook most of the items in their freezer and they were planning to eat the food over the next several days but she said every time she cooks something they eat it - ALL! Here are a few photos I found on the internet just to help us remember the storm. I guess Kenne has been taking movies and photos and I'll add some of those as I get them. Now that the storm has passed, Elder Worthen is helping with clean up. He has plenty of food and water and we understand from his mission office that all missionaries and fine and working hard.
