Quick update... more to come

We have been meaning to update our blog about Easter Sunday but just have not found a moment. Altamira has suffered some difficulties in the last few days as dams upriver broke unleashing a torrent of water to unsuspecting homes. Entire houses were washed away in the current and many, many people in our town are displaced, some having lost all of what little they owned. For a time all bridges were impassable, cutting off one part of the city from the other, with Josh stuck on the side opposite our home.

Josh has been out every day, almost all day helping people move to safer ground, retrieving appliances and belongings that were swept away . Tonight some friends made huge kettles of soup and we passed it out in the area most affected. Hopefully we can get an update out soon, but if not please understand. And please, please pray.
