Hurricane Ida

hurricane ida hit the eastern coast of nicaragua last thursday. the first we learned of it was from a dear concerned aunt that emailed to ask if we were alright.

we are living on the west coast of nicaragua and only experienced unusually overcast skies and a lot of rain. luke and i were discussing several days ago how we should really get into the habit of watching the local news.

we have not been affected, but many people living on the eastern coast have been affected.

in one coastal community an online news report said that 80% of homes were destroyed. the infrastructure of the region was also damaged, including bridges and schools.

lift up in prayer the lives that were affected by hurricane ida. pray that they find strength to support one another. pray that their fragile economy would bounce back quickly. pray that they would look to our Father for hope.

in His love we live.
