Sorry the link wasn't working. A post was made by someone on FB who was apart of the search efforts and they found two girls in a tree who may have led them to more.
Oh my goodness. Please be true.

It would be nothing short of a miracle from God. Praying.

Also posts showing videos of helicopter and others flying towards that area. Again, nothing official, just people on the ground

I saw Facebook posts from locals regarding finding 2 more girls. One of them had some very specific information that sounded reputable I almost shared, but in the last 5 minutes they deleted the post…

I think patience would serve us all well at this time. Patience and prayer.

They may have been told to delete it if the rescue is currently happening.

Praying this is true.

Yes

We all want good news but false news to those hurting I would prefer does not happen.

Sadly, my friends' first journey has come to an end. They are traveling back from Kerrville to begin the long journey of grieving. The neighborhood is devastated- the kids are devastated. But she is found- not in some limbo of uncertainty. This sweet girl is in Heaven and although we will never understand this and how it could happen, we will continue prayers for those families still waiting for positive news.

I'm so sorry. So, so sorry.

Many continued prayers for all touched by her loss.

Agreed, I think everyone is just so desperate for positive news that they are clinging to anything that appears reputable, praying that it turns out to be correct.

I want to share a portion of today's homily from our Priest in Anderson.

He said we need to focus on changing our outlook from "what if" to "even if". He said that many times we struggle with what if I lose my money, lose my things, lose friends and family. What do I do now.

Instead focus on even if the above things happen in this world, that we can't lose Jesus. Praying for all who are affected by this.

You are very lucky to be getting Father David Michael. For such a young soul he has an eloquent way to get his point across concisely.

The AK Guy and Donut Operator are raising funds to rebuild the Center Point Volunteer Fire Department which lost everything except for it's trucks. I love seeing people use their platform for exceptional things like this!!

May sweet Wynne rest peacefully now that she has been found.

Cameras, etc with cooled detectors would be best suited. The humidity plays a roll as well in the quality of image.

Likely the first responders and task force people that are searching now.

For those of you who, like me, find comfort in your faith in the Lord, this song has been on repeat for me through the last year of my life, which has had a lot of loss. Hoping it might also bring you comfort and peace today.

I can tell you that the search is getting really tough at this point. You have acres of debris fields that can be 10 plus feet thick. There is everything you can think of in these piles including dead wildlife. This complicates things immensely.

The guys that are out there right now are pros and are trained to handle what they will find.

I want to strongly discourage anyone from self-deploying and heading out into the disaster area.

There are a number of ways that you can help out. However, your presence in a disaster area without the proper training can be a real hindrance.

We have a huge number of the best in the world at what they do taking this mission on.

Godspeed.

Lainey Landry's family has now also confirmed her remains have have been identified.

Lila, Janie, Sarah, Renee, Eloise, Anna Margaret, Linnie, Lainey, and Wynne were all Bubble Inn cabin mates. This leaves four Bubble Inn girls (Molly, Ellen, Abby, Mary) and two counselors (Chloe and Katherine) who are either still missing or whose families have not confirmed they have been found. There is speculation that one counselor and at least one other Bubble girl have been found, but this is not confirmed so I will not name them.

Still no children from Twins or any other cabin have been positively identified (at least publically) as perished. There is also one little girl, Greta, who is 10 years old whose school and family have held vigils for her. A FB comment suggests she *may* have been in the Jumble Inn cabin, which makes sense as she seems older than the Twins and Bubble girls.

Praying this somehow means these girls are together alive somehow, somewhere.

Yes, the post I saw was a woman that works for Kerrville PD and is actively searching and has been on search and rescues in the past. I'm guessing someone at the police department had her take the post down.

The UGRA already has an annual river cleanup the last weekend in July. I have no doubt they will be needing volunteers for this event and other river cleanup events in the near future.

And Mary Grace's 4 y/o brother is coming over to play with my grandkids today. I was supposed to be in Beaumont today.
Continually praying for your family. I realized yesterday that I knew Mary Grace's father in college. Such a great family.


Was he a fraternity man?
