Tsunami Warning...Fiji Spared Once Again!

February 27, Fiji was on alert for a tsunami resulting from the earthquake in Chile. Kent woke up with the beeping of his cell phone at 1:30 AM when the first disaster message was sent via all the Fiji mobile phone providers. Realizing that we had 8 1/2 hours before the anticipated series of waves arrived, Kent turned over and went back to sleep! When the family was up the next morning, we all knew what to do. Within 15 minutes, Becky, Jeremy, and Katelyn had all the laptops, the important documents, and prescription medicines in bags and at the kitchen door! Meanwhile, Kent alerted the fellows at the office to get ready to evacuate and rushed to the bread shop to buy what was needed. We spent three hours in fellowship with dear Christian friends as we waited for the all-clear signal to go home. We are grateful to God for sparing Fiji from a potentially dangerous tsunami.
