Last night was one of the scariest nights we have had. Ever. It was about 8:30 pm, K and I were studying together in our office while David was trying to catch the track and field relays. I felt the bed shake and thought it was K (to find out later she thought is was me), then it happened again. Then the entire room shook and things rattled. We immediately jumped up, ran out, David ready to go too, we grabbed Sophia and ran down the four flights of stairs, our neighbors doing the same. Everyone gathered around outside away from the taller buildings. We stayed out there for an hour or so. This was our earthquake. We heard things here and there that night and many things were confirmed today. The Epicenter was in a town about 3.5 hours over some mountains from us. The earthquake there registered a 5.9 on the richter scale. We heard some small houses had fallen, and that three people had died (in the other town). An official came from the provincial capital today to assess the situation. We also heard that the border town had an official evacuation between midnight and two a.m.
We are so thankful for so many things. We are resting in our Father's love and goodness, seeing life as a vapor more and more these days.
We moved Sophia's bed into our room, and I think she is the only one that slept. When we grabbed her (she had been in bed an hour), she did wonderful, no tears, no fussing, Just hanging out with us, while we waited for our legs to stop shaking so we could assess what to do next.
Anyway, that was our exciting, and thankfully safe night. hope yours was much less eventful.
