PTSIZE="10"><BR>We have so much to be grateful for... In spite of no electricity
and little water, we are thankful for so many things. In spite of so many trees
blown down by Rita, we have very little structural damage.<BR><BR>Most of all we
are thankful to God that no one was injured during the storm. Over 350
Katrina/Rita evacuees were in cabins during the storm.<BR><BR>Most of our
evacuees began leaving last Sunday when it was clear that electricity/water
could be weeks away. Our remaining evacuees [about 50 from Cameron (Rita) and
New Orleans (Katrina)] were offered the services of Judson Baptist Assembly
north of Baton Rouge. We took a caravan of 15 there with the rest of our
evacuees heading to other chosen points.<BR><BR>We have officially closed the
camp for the next week. (We will re-open on Monday, Oct. 10.) Having been a
shelter since August 27 has been the most rewarding yet exhausting experience of
our lives. <BR><BR>Beginning on Oct. 10 we will be in a camp cleaning mode. If
you'd like to help, come join us. Please call ahead (337 328 7531) so we can
plan to accommodate and feed you.<BR><BR>On Sat. Oct. 15 we will have a camp
wide cleaning day. Come with your rakes, gloves, pruners,and trailers. It will
be a fun and productive day.<BR><BR>During the week of Oct. 17-21 we will be
hosting our yearly La. Campers on Missions work week. Our goal is to be back on
projects including the Tabernacle by that time. "C. O. M. " as we call them are
the best friends Dry Creek has. Come by and help that week if you
<BR>can.<BR><BR>Many of you have asked what we need. We can honestly say that
God has supplied our every need as he promised in James 4:19:<BR>"...But my God
shall supply your every need in His riches from Christ Jesus." <BR><BR>Curt
