8.8 Earthquake

My heart hurts so much right now. I woke up with a simple Saturday before me. I checked Facebook and started seeing my old missionary buddies with strange comments about prayers going to Chile. Finally I read what the situation was: Chile Earthquake.

This is the area where I served. Bio-Bio is at the heart where the mission home is. So far, the church hasn't made any comments about contact made with the missionaries. One friend posted the following:

"We have a friend serving there now. Interesting thing is they were given earthquake instructions and water filtration equipment two weeks ago. thankful for heavenly inspiration!"

My prayers are with my brothers and sisters. I wish I was there! I want to don the yellow "helping hands" shirt and get to work.

They say the prison in Chillan was damaged and many prisoners escaped. Chillan was my first area!

I am so sad to read this and will pray that your friends are safe and God brings peace to the victim's families. So much sadness and devastation in the world lately.
