For the past couple of weeks (and for the next several weeks as well), members of my congregation have been going out to volunteer and help clean up the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. Today my wife and I volunteered to babysit the kids of some of the other congregants so they could go out and clean up some people’s houses and such. So today, instead of studying for my Monday exam, I played with 7 kids for about 9 hours.

This morning, after spending the night in our neighbors’ warm basement, we went back to our apartment briefly to grab some things for school and the power was back on! Yay!!! It had apparently been on since around midnight, and the fridge was cold and the apartment was warm and it was awesome! Hopefully it doesn’t disappear on us again, because I am excited to have my home back.

This week I experienced my first severe natural disaster, when Hurricane Sandy came ripping through New Jersey. Growing up in Arizona, the only disasters we ever had were fire and drought, neither of which personally affected me. This time though, I am right in the middle of it all. My town didn’t get hit horribly bad, but we still don’t have heat or power three days after the storm. I had to go onto campus to get electricity, charge phones, check internet and such.
