Hi from Ruston

[Dana Trauth]

Dear Family Members of Berean!!!

I am so overwhelmed and shocked as most of you are about this tragedy that happened to my home city but much like you I rejoice in the provisions and blessings that God has provided for His children. My family is well taken care of as you might have heard from my parents and I am excited to see what God is going to do through this crisis. I am here in Ruston with my family -- I am working and helping out at some shelters here but I do miss all of you and don't like being so scattered. But what I wanted to tell all of you is that I am thinking about ya'll and praying for ya'll.
I love ya'll
Dana Trauth
Hopefully I will write more soon but for now I must go!

Hey, Dana ... glad to see you here ... we're excited about what God has in store too .... although I think He's already doing LOTS right now! Eileen heard from a co-worker that the co-worker's brother "got saved" while displaced in Houston ... the co-worker didn't know what that meant, but we were rejoicing that God is using the kindesses of strangers and the faithfulness of His children to carry out HIS plan in the lives of New Orleanians wherever they are.
Love you too ...
