Hello Friends and Family!
I am totally fine. :) We have about one earthquake a day, just a little shiver and the city might turn off our power to conserve energy. This is a bizarre experience. Yes, we have enough food; the people from the base won't stop buying us groceries. :) We are totally taken care of. I don't think we'll be doing any humanitarian aid here. Several of the areas in our mission that border the beach have been evacuated. Our trains in Fussa are shut down indefinitely to save power. The lines at the gas stations are incredibly long always. The shelves at the stores are cleaned off. It is a really weird experience. We're just doing what we normally do, because our area wasn't damaged. People are off work because our trains are not running. I don't really know how to describe it because to be honest, I still don't know what is going on. We're just doing what we did before this all happened.
Anyway, no time. Had an awesome lesson yesterday with a guy named Brandon Chamberlain on the Base. Brad and Jill, we're prepping him for you, because he is going to San Antonio in April. He says he knows you. He is taken the discussions though, and I really think he will progress well. We have been receiving some referrals! We're contacting another one today, Japanese. We've received about six referrals since I've been here, and it's awesome.
I have lost structure to my emails because of time for the last two weeks but bear with me. I'll get it back on track. I am so humbled by the inquiries and the prayers. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've got to go. Sorry. Keep asking the Arnells what's up. They'll tell you what is true and what the media is blowing out of proportions (which it is so doing).
I love you!! Thank you!!
