Quake Update

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to let you know that we are fine. We weren't affected by the earthquake that happened in Indonesia this past week. That happened in Sumatra, which is located in Western Indonesia. We live in Papua, which is the most eastern province. Although Josh says that he felt a small tremor, that's not uncommon and I totally slept through it!

Lots of lives were lost, and they are still searching for many. The last time I checked the deathtoll was well over 1,000. I read that this earthquake was caused by the same faultline that caused the tsunami which devasted this part of the world a few years ago. Please pray for Indonesia and the rescue efforts. As far as 44 hours after the quake, the rescuers were hearing cries for help. People are still alive. God has an incredible plan for those that survive, pray with us that they will see what that purpose is.

Thanks for being with us in this journey. Although scary at times because of things we can't control, we can trust in the One who is in control of ALL things.

-Amber
