Gempa means Earthquake
We experienced our first noticeable earthquake late Wednesday afternoon. There was a 7.9 earthquake centered on the West Coast of Sumatra. We were working on homework here in the house when we felt the shaking. Our chandelier started swaying. There was no damage where we are but it seems that near the epicenter there is quite a bit of damage. Please keep those people who were hurt and displaced by this earthquake in your prayers. Thanks for checking in on us!

I wasin Almaty, Kazakhstan when I saw pictures of the earthquake on TV. I have been so worried all weekend because I didn't have internet access. The first thing I did when I got home was to get on your site and was so happy to hear that your family is safe. It was so sad to see the devasation of all those people's lives. I can't even imagine. I wish there was some way to help. Let me know if your school gets a drive or something going for the displaced people and I would contribute.
Stay safe. Love, Rachel
