Austin is on fire

Austin has had a rough couple of days this past weekend. Fires started popping up all over Austin and the surrounding area. One of the fires was actually in our ward boundaries, but no one I know was affected. The fire was in an area called Steiner Ranch, where there is one way in and one way out. 4,000 homes were evacuated Sunday night.

The worst fire is in Bastrop. The fire has consumed 34,000 acres of land and it's still burning. The fire is literally the size of the state of Connecticut. It's been going on for four days and it still isn't contained.




Austin is so DRY! We haven't had any rain for months. If you all remember, please pray for Austin to receive some sort of moisture. Our city is literally burning.
