Earthquake in Chile

Incredibly, another devastating earthquake has struck our hemisphere. At 3:34 a.m. local time a massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck Chile near the city of Concepción. Tsunami warnings have been issued for much of Pacific rim, including Hawaii. Some islands have already been hit.

We are grateful that our missionary, Elena Huegel, is well and safe, but we remember the many who have lost loved ones. At least 78 people have been killed.
