Crissy Butts posted about helping flood victims. "Headed back to Spring, TX... an honor to come and serve with this great team of friends! Nearly 2,000 Texans joined forces with locals and others from nearby states. Church service looked like a field of daffodils as we wore yellow t-shirts for Sacrament Meeting under the direction of President Russell M. Ballard.
Jimmy Johnson's, one of the victims here, had 4 feet of water rushing down his road just 24 hrs after the rain started. The house flooded nearly ...to the ceiling beam. (See photo) His mother's home also flooded. They lost nearly every possession they had.

90% of ALL the buildings in Ascension Parish flooded. 80% of ALL buildings in Livingston Parish flooded, 20% of ALL buildings in East Baton Rouge flooded. The damage is unreal! "
