Urgent - Meizhou Flooded!

I am doing fine, but I am asking that you who read this blog pray. From Saturday night until Sunday, it rained hard a combined 18 hours straight here in Shenzhen. Rain had already come days before that too (and since). I didn't realize until earlier this morning that things were truly horrible due to the rain elsewhere in China. My Chinese hometown of Meizhou (pronounced "May"-"Joe") has been badly flooded. Some people are dead and missing in fact because of the rain. It is that way elsewhere in parts of southern China too.


If you would like to check out the news stories or pictures I found about the flooding, click on the links below. I just ask that you really pray please. I plan on going to Meizhou in about two weeks. I have friends there. Thank you for praying!

You and they are in my prayers. Any word on the Bouts? I will remember their family as well. I will check with Brandon and see if they have any info. I will let you know what I find out. Love. Mama
