Last Thursday there was a 6.2 Earthquake which happened close to Josh. We heard from him yesterday and he is OK. There was a lot of damage and Im sure there is going to be many opportunities for service for the missionaries. The U.S. Embassy reported as of Monday evening they had no reports of missing U.S. citizens or the deaths of U.S. citizens. Locals have not been as lucky. The official death toll at last count was 17. Another 20 are missing. There are some truly sad stories, and this nation sees this as a very serious tragedy. The president has declared a national emergency, and a period of national mourning. Festivals have been canceled and flags are flying at half mast. Rescue teams are digging through landslides searching for bodies. Thousands are sleeping in tent camps, schools or churches. Hundreds of houses have been totally destroyed.
Our prayers are with those people in Costa Rica.
