Mudslide

[dkosinski]

Does anyone know if any of our brothers or sisters were affected by this mudslide in Seattle, WA?

That's a nightmare. Looks like the slide swallowed up a town. Can't imagine our brothers and sisters somehow not being affected.

I live not to far from here. I was told by a sister in the area, that a sister is missing still. Her brother said she was driving in a car when this happened. That is the only news I have right now.

Hopefully and prayerfully our Brothers and Sisters are OK, adjusting and organizing. The Cascades have endured an unusually wet winter, with well over 200% average rainfall in the past 60 days.

We were able to cover in service last summer the Yarnell AZ.Hotshot tragedy. So many took the time to listen intently, with many of Christendoms charitable organisations in the area. Very sobering events in these last days!
