EARTHQUAKE !!

Oki Doki - so this was weird. Last night we were walking through China Town and this morning we were walking to the school - each time that the two earthquakes hit - but we did not actually realize it until later!!

I guess that from what we were told -it is sometimes tought to tell when it happens unless you are sitting still. Teachers were in a meeting this morning and they felt it -saw it more, as the projector hanging from the ceiling swayed. The most obivous for others was that they saw ripples in the water or felt a sense of vertigo. THIS part I do understand, I did feel that last night and even mentioned it to Becki that all of the sudden I was dizzy for just a bit but did not know why.

This morning, Becki, who loves to walk, actually stumbled as we were reaching the top of a flight of steps on a flyover crossing the highway. She fell to the ground with a thud, really jarring her back and possibly breaking a finger. It did nto stop her from working with the kids today though!

We must say again that this is such a joy - these children are extra special. Today was about Daniel and how he prayed and God answered. The kids acted out the story of Daniel in the Lion's Den. Becki just told me that one little Hindu girl told her how much she loved chapel to day. We are praying especially for her as she does not yet trust "Jesus only" (if you don't understand that, ask someone...) They are really getting good at singing the All Around the World song! Even the treachers were saying how that song has stuck in their heads now!

Thanks for praying -tomorrow is harvest day! The other speaker that is here for teens had 13 middle school students give their hearts to Christ today! Pray for us as we stand before these precious little ones for one more day.

Thanks again for the prayers and love -and support - this whole experience is something that I am REALLY blessed to be able to share WITH my wife. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!

We love you
Ray & Becki
