On August 15th eighteen Elders and three Sisters, arrived to the GKLM. This was the largest group sent in over a year, so we had to use not only the large mission van, but also the Mission President's car and the Assistants' mini-van to transport everyone from the airport to the Mission Home.
The situation had been intense at the Mission Home that day over the weekend, after a freak storm downed large trees all over Louisville causing power outtages for thousands of homes. The mission home was one of them, as two huge trees across the street pulled down electrical lines and poles, not only taking out the power but also blocking the main thoroughfare on one side and our side street on the other.
Taking a circuitous route to avoid all the road closures, we finally arrived at the Mission Home. The Sisters and Elders were fascinated by the trees in front, twenty -five or so trucks, cranes, and other heavy equipment, as well as several television crews on site, and many took pictures.
