Terremoto 27 Feb 2010
Life in Chile changed drastically this morning at 3:34 AM. We had an 8.8 earthquake with the center less than a hundred miles from where we live in Santa Cruz. We had several families in our branch who lost their homes. There was an apartment complex with 12 buildings of 12 apartments each that collapsed. We had 27 families that lived there. We had one sister, who worked in an old hospital who died when a wall fell on her. Now, two weeks later, we are still in the clean up phase and are helping families with food and clothing and tents. We have begun rebuilding a home for one sister. We are happy to be safe. We had part of our house fall down, but it fell to the outside. The rest of the house is strong and repaired now.
