Plus, they're working hard with restoring the electricity, the same with mobile networks. Only a couple of municipalities and cities make up the 9-10% of the electricity that has been restored including hospitals and our main airport. Everything like supermarkets and gas stations are working with generators and I've waited long queues for gas and going to the supermarket, I'm just glad that it is slowly getting back to normal, except traffic which has become a nightmare.

I remember cringing when he went to NYC when dating Ashley( there is still hope for them!) and he was so immature about "the city". Now he's off helping in gracious ways those affected by hurricanes, using his EMT skills in the Philippines, flying into Puerto Rico etc. He and Lawson( who always seemed to be more open to others) are examples of using the wealth they've been given to become educated and give back and expand their worldview beyond ATI/ Big Sandy/Duggar's and Tennessee. It's lovely, and quite honestly much more interesting than the "courtship, marry, baby,baby,baby" routine.

I grew up in Florida, lived in Puerto Rico for four years; moving back to Florida just a few months ago. The devastation in Puerto Rico is that of a third world country and unrecognizable. I have so many friends that I didn't and still don't have contact with. I yearn for the ability to help a place that I love, but unfortunately I can physically be there side by side with the Puerto Rican people rebuilding at the moment due to other commitments. So thank you for be there, being present, and giving you time and resources to help those around you in this trying time. I know you don't do this to be recognized for it, but I hope you understand how appreciated your help is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-46419400948168152012017-10-04T21:55:58.963-05:002017-10-04T21:55:58.963-05:00Well said @12:12.
