San Diego Fires

These fires hit so close to home this time. Both of our families and many of our friends were evacuated around 6 am Monday morning. My parents were visiting us here in Logan, so it was up to Michael and Fred (my brothers) to pack up everything and relocate to Fred's house (which was pretty far from the fires) for the week. Our families and friends were allowed to return home last night to all their homes still standing! Unfortunately, Jen (Matt's sister) and her in-laws weren't so lucky....
These are pictures of Jen and Noah's cab over and Noah's brother's motor home in Delzura. They found these pictures on the Internet. Can you imagine what it would be like to see your belongings like this. You try to be so hopeful during a time like this and then you come along a picture of your stuff. We are so sorry for your losses. No word yet on the houses that were on the property also. Luckily Jen and her family no longer live in Delzura and their actual home is okay. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each and every family who have been affected by these fires. Please remember them in your prayers also :)

Ugh, this is so scary. I can't believe all the damage that has been done. Truly a disaster. We are praying for those people in CA.

They are in our prayers. It is really awful how people's homes have burned. I can't imagine how devastating that would be. I am glad your family is ok.
