Picking up Matt Part 6

Joplin MO

this is the stake president and his family of the stake that was destroyed in the Joplin tornado.

This is one of the shelters that we saw there. In the middle of it all these are what survived the best.


This is Matts apartment slab where his apartment used to be, they have cleared out most of the debris here.
His apartment sign.



Crazy tree.

This is the family that Matt was having dinner with when the tornado hit, and the up stairs hall that they were in which protected them all. All the windows of the house were blown out and a few branches flew through the walls but compared to most of the houses it survived pretty well.

The tornado was heading straight toward this home one street down it turned for about a block and headed up the next street. It is amazing the great things the Lord does to protect his missionaries.



One of the few homes still standing that was in the middle of the storm. they are taking off the second floor because it is too damaged and converting it to a one story home.


The hospital that many saw on the news.

A collapsed house that is the second floor on the top.

One of my most favorite things that Matt told us is his experience during the tornado.
