Although Gainesville, Florida didn’t get hit by the hurricane the big bend area got a direct hit. The Gainesville Florida Stake were assigned to go help out in Steinhatchee, Florida. Mom, Dad, and Lizzy headed out to serve:

It was early in the morning and Lizzy was ready to go!

We stopped at the meeting place to pick up our assignments:

Brother Rae is the lead person on our team.

We went to our first assignment and started right in to work:

The ocean water had flooded carrying fish a mile!
Where did that shoe bottom come from Dad?
The bottom of Dad’s boot fell off!

We finished the first job and headed to the next:

The missionaries joined us at the next location.
