As most of you know, our son Jeremy is living in Joplin. He is principal of Martin Luther School where 4 teachers have lost their homes. He has accounted for all of the students at the school except for two families. Jeremy said the devestation is absolutely horrible. They are in great need of water. We are planning to go down Friday, May 27th, early in the morning should anyone have anything they want us to take. Jeremy, Kelli and Olivia are fine. Their home was not hit. The school sustained damage and it is unsafe to enter. The parsonage also sustained a lot of damage. Please, please, keep the people of Joplin in your prayers. Thank you so much. . . . . Diane
