Newsflash: Earthquake in Lima
This is the single.php page.
Wednesday, August 15
Many of you friends and family members back home may have heard about the 7.9 earthquake near Lima. While we DEFINITELY felt the quake, we are totally fine. It was one of those rolling earthquakes where the ground seems to move in waves. Most of the damage that occurred took place south of Lima. We didn’t see any damaged buildings in Lima itself. Sections of the city were still without power when we drove back to the hotel from the children’s program and we have heard that there is some damage in other parts of the city, though it doesn’t sound severe. Huge thanks to all of you who started praying for us when you heard about the earthquake. The Lord protected us and took care of us and the shaking didn’t even stop the seminar for the evening.

Praise God! I didn’t even know that you all were in Peru until I heard from Dena’s sister this morning on FB.
Wow. Talk about giving us a scare. There’s no safer place to be than in the middle of the Lord’s will!
Love to all!

Actually it was upgraded to a 8.0 … and now we are all paranoid about earthquakes. We get up in the morning —
“Is that an earthquake?”
“Oh yeah, I can feel it”
“it’s getting harder”
“Red, it’s an earthquake, wake up”
“we have to go down stairs”
“Oh wait it stopped”
::later::
“Is that an earthquake?”
::pause::
“yeah”
::apathy sets in::

Comment from E – Approved. You even have my permission to ignore all minor tremors (and the ones that are the result of an overactive, paranoid imagination). But you better evacuate if things start really shaking.
