Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church I am sending the following conversation for your awareness. May it go well with you. Sincerely, Garland Robertson ...always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do something to bring some portion of misery to an end -----Original Message----- From: HMC, Jose Elizalde [mailto:hmcpastor1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 3:57 PM To: garland robertson Subject: Re: assistance offered Greetings. We are in San Antonio Mennonite Church. I believe that all the people from Amor Viviente, Iglesia Menonita Casa del Alfarero and Houston Mennonite Church who needed to evacuate did. There were a number of people from Houston Mennonite Church and the Garifona church who stayed behind. They were not in the "danger" zones. We will continue to trust in God and pray for their protection. At this time we do not need assistance. However, by Saturday morning we will know more about what took place in the Houston area and we might need your assistance. The San Antonio Mennonite Church could use volunteers to come and help us with the 150 evacuees. Please, contact Hugo Saucedo. Thank you for your prayers. garland robertson <pastor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hello jose, We are wondering if we can provide any assistance to any of you over the weekend?.
