Hurricane Irene is going to miss me. We thought for a few days that we were going to have to evacuate!
"Should we buy only granola bars when we go shopping this week?"
"How are we going to figure out whether we should evacuate or not? We can't use the radio!"
"Is it true I can put stuff in the dishwasher and it won't get ruined if it floods?"
All these questions and more as we went about our everyday stuff while Irene kept getting bigger and bigger. By the way, since dishwashers can keep water in, they can also keep water out! They are a quick, easy, emergency water-proof safe, if you have to leave important documents or whatever behind. Just don't run the thing until you pull them out again!
But anyway, we thought we would be called on, after Irene hit here, to help pick up the pieces. Humanitarian aid is a big deal to Mormons, and if it's a big deal to you too, see "Humanitarian Aid" on Mormon.org for easy ways to start contributing to the cause!
In one small city in Georgia that I served in, men were called from the local congregation to help in Kansas after the tornado there. They dropped everything to go! And they came back with those yellow "Mormon Helping Hand" shirts! I wanted one of those shirts! Oh well.
