Hello my friends and family,

Today is Saturday Sept.6, 2008. The way the storm is going, by God's grace. We are in better shape that we thought yesterday. But today pretty much all the Patmos students and interns are going back to Fort Lauderdale, Fl. That is the best for them. First of all theses are still kids and they need to be with their families. This storm is going to be going toward them too. But ad least their families can make their own calls on where to go for safety. There are about some staying back, like Pastor Chet and family, Adam and Cody, Jenn Mingo and Mark and Kim. Pretty much all rest are going over there. There will be one more flight out on Sunday morning if any one chances their mind and want to get out of here. I myself will be staying after. My reason is I can be used here after what happens, much better than being in Ft Lauderdale. My mom's house will be taken care of by my friend Jon. So really I don't have much to do there. By looking at the pictures above you can see how we have done as much as we can to be ready. Today I have three more things to try to take care of. One finish putting up two boards on the north side of the Barn. taking down the air cond. that is on the roof. Then I need to go get some feed for the next three weeks. We have enough to last now for week and a half. But if the storm does damage on the roads and flooding happens, if might not happen. So I will take one of the buses down toady and get 10 bails of hay and 10 bags of cubes. These are the main foods for pretty much all the bigger animals. I will keep you guys posted on other things that are going on. But now I need to get cleaned up and start going. Please keep this island in your prayers.
