Jennifer's family experienced a 'Twister' (a step below a tornado) yesterday. They were driving home when the storm hit, she said it was so dark and things were blowing all over, so they drove to a family in their ward that lived close and went into their basement with them. When Jennifer and Dylan were able to go home, they found big trees and power lines down. The power was out (so the pump to their well didn't work so they had no water) and cell phone lines didn't work. But she was able to get a call through to me this morning to let us know that they are safe and ok.
I talked to Jennifer just a few minutes ago, and she said that the power is back on now (yea, air conditioning again!) and cell phone lines seem to be working again. Dylan just posted pictures of their yard and their neighbor's yard on facebook if you would like to take a look. And here is a link to a video someone posted of the twister. Jennifer said that what they saw was a lot darker and stronger wind than even what you see in this video

We are grateful Jennifer, Dylan and Dallas are ok. Interesting that today was our family Fast for Jennifer with her diabetes, I'm sure that counted towards their protection, too! Dad and I pray for each of you children and your families every day, and I am grateful for the Lord's blessings of health and protection! Love to you all!!!
Wow, that is scary! I'm so grateful they were okay. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. The power of prayer is amazing. With a family this big that's a lot of prayer power! Thank you for all of the prayers on our behalf:)
ReplyDeleteThat is scary, with 10 kids there's always something crazy that's bound to happen so I'm glad you started this blog to document it all :). I am so impressed with all the blogging you've done and all the fun things you guys have packed in. What a fun and adventurous summer for you and Jayci! Can't wait to see you!!
