Fire
As many of you know, a couple of weeks ago we had fires cross over onto Ranch property. Here is a picture taken I believe from the pond while cleaning up brush. During dry season, it is not uncommon to see lots of fires, but for us it became scary as they made there way to the Ranch. Everyone pitched into help clear out brush and make fire breaks. After putting in some time cleaning brush we organized an evacuation. All the small kids and ministry girls were taken off the Ranch. Since a lot of the house parents were on their time off some of the teachers (including me) went up to the Mission House to take care of the kids. The van I drove started it's hour and a half journey off the Ranch up to the Mission House around 8:30 at night. Putting us our final destination after 10:00. Which wouldn't have been a problem if we weren't taking care of small children the next day in a confined house. The kids got to sleep around 11:00. The mission house was great pitching in and giving us all a place to sleep and meals to 
eat at just a moments notice. I'm told that they got light rain that night at the Ranch which was an answer to prayer. The next day we were able to return to the Ranch as the fires were under control. People stayed up late keeping an eye on the fires. Shortly there after we got a good rain at the Ranch taking care of the last of the fire. Thank you for all your prayers. God certainly took care of us at the Ranch. While the fires were on Ranch property they never made it down to the houses, and didn't leave us with any real damages.

We sure were praying hard that day and night and had a lot of others doing the same. So glad everyone is ok! Love, YFA
