High Five!! Dave got a call from Mandie after Winter Bible School last night and actually handed the phone around to some of her friends! It was so good to hear from her...we had been telling each other that it's about time again!

She said there was another big tremor Yesterday morning (Tues) again,and then a much smaller one later in the day. It left her feeling on edge...The work crew is leaving this weekend, making room for a new one coming in.

She's still sleeping outside on a mat..that would be for 2 weeks now.She sleeps well though, which is amazing under the conditions.

There's still 4 girls left at the home along with 2 yard ladies. They will be taking month-long shifts, since some of them live a distance away.

She's still anxious for us to come down, and we're still just waiting to see what happens! Pray that we would be ok with God's timing And trust Him in all of this!! We were scheduled to leave Feb. 10th. Pray for the staff too as they come up with a new schedule...new roles...and yes, a new normal!
