9th Ward
Just a quick update--I'll write a longer entry later. Please be in prayer: Nagan is allowing residents of the 9th Ward to return during the day to begin clean-up, etc. I can't imagine what it must be like--many of these people's homes flooded twice: Katrina, and then again during Rita (it rained around 9 inches in less than 24 hours). For many people, that first sight it is very discouraging. Also, it's now been a month--for many people frustration and discouragement will begin giving way to depression. Please pray for them--for strength, for courage, for a clear path. They need prayer now as much as ever before.
