Last night I was very rudely kept up by the passing train a block away from our home, but as I waited for the rumbling to pass it was suddenly joined by a cacophony of sirens. Now this is not an abnormal noise to hear downtown, but these sirens grew strangely louder until they stopped in what seemed to be a location right outside our home. I jumped out of bed to go see if this was the case and sure enough the windows were illuminated by the twirling of red lights. Megan had just gotten home and the two of us walked down the street and around the corner to discover 3 police cars, 2 fire trucks, an ambulance and a fire suburban. Workers were everywhere around the smallest duplex in our little community, particularly firemen with axes. The whole neighborhood was suddenly alive, and it was 11:30 at night. A lady walked past and said it was leaves next to the house that had caught fire. It seemed like the situation was under control and as far as we could tell no real serious damage had occurred. We really have no idea the real story, but like I said it looked relatively insignificant. It was however another eventful experience in the neighborhood though.
On another note, God's Resort is opening a laundry room for residents which is just a really fantastic plan. I am completely psyched because I know how hard it is for the residents to get to a laundry mat and back and be able to afford the high cost of washing and drying clothes. This will be a great burden lifted for the families especially. Also my mentee Dominique is going to be moving back to God's Resort with her family, which is a complete blessing as well! I cannot wait to have them back. Unfortunately we may be losing a family at the same time, but we continue to pray that they will not leave.
