8.8 earthquake chile

thank you for all your concern and prayers. we are safe... and thankful to be alive. the quake was so intense that we barely had time to get up, grab the kids and get to the bedroom door, but the house was shaking so hard and the stairway was twisting so strongly that we couldn't get downstairs. we could only hold onto each other and pray. i truly thought the 2nd floor was going to crumble underneath our feet.  thank God we are well. our family too. the church of Libertad suffered some damage, broken windows the roof of the outside patio fell and the wall surrounding the entire property fell.

We do not have phone connection, internet or electricity for the time being. We will try to send updates as soon as possible

Tracie, Ricky, Isabella and Milan

josh, thank you for your concern! our blog is called Cusco, Peru because that's where we live and work. we just happened to be in Chile (where we travel to often) when the earthquake struck
