Hi everyone.
We were just beginning our debriefing session this evening around 7 pm of our last week in Oyacachi and El Chaco when the earthquake hit. We all looked to our right and left to see who was nervously shaking their leg and making our chairs shake when we realized it was nobody but the tremor of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit the coastal city of Esmeraldas 4 hours away. The tremor lasted over a minute causing everything to shake inside the building we were in. We all moved outside and continued to feel it moving the ground under our feet.
Everyone in LIFT and El Refugio are safe. Please pray for the residents of Esmeraldas who suffered this severe quake that had its epicenter 10 miles off the coast. No news yet of damage or casualties - it all just happened.
We head out for our mountain climbing (Sincholagua) expedition tomorrow and will return to El Refugio late Tuesday.
Psalm 46!
Tim

This is amazing opportunity just today morning I was studying the book of philippians 1:27-30 about suffering of Christ. May God watch over you and bless you all.
