Tornado Relief

I had the opportunity to go with 15 others from my ward to help clean up after the tornados swept through northwest Tennessee. These pictures were taken almost 2 weeks after the devestation occurred. The destruction was terrible.

This was the farmer's combine and a couple of his cars.






At first it was somewhat difficult to see why we were cleaning trash/debris/wood out of the farmer's fields. After we had been there for a while I realized that he had to get his fields ready to plant so that when harvest time came he would have crops. He could rebuild the houses after his seeds were in the ground. We threw everything into these big fires. If you look closely you can see the concrete foundations in the background.
