My heart sank this morning when I heard about the earthquake in China.
The 7.8 magnitude quake was centered in Sichuan province. Abigail is in Jiangxi Province.
My friend Karyn emailed me an update on Hunan Province that she received today, see below...
"Hi all,
I know you will be worried about your children's first homes so I have just gathered some info from our folk on the ground in China.
Yvonne our LWB Hunan Director who lives in Changsha reported that she felt the quake this morning but did not know what it was until she heard the news.
Shirley our LWB Loudi monitor has also been in touch and reported life as normal.
Our Henan Director has also checked in to report Henan province is OK too.
Our education manager in Sichuan province reports all cell phones are down and she has been unable to make contact with several college student.
Please keep all in your thoughts and prayers."
I am hoping since Hunan is ok, Jiangxi will be as well.
I am also hoping to get some info from our agency today.
My prayers are with all who were involved.

As soon as I heard the news of the quake this morning my heart sank but my prayers went out. Prayers for everyones safety and aid as needed. And I will admit, my first thoughts did turn to the children and that God would placed His hand over them...

Gail,
Thank you for this post. I am relieved, as any parent of a loved one in danger, to hear that Hunan is OK - from the looks of the map, since Jiangxi is farther East than Hunan, I would hold the same hope for that province as well.
You and our daughters are in our prayers - God's peace to the people of China in this tragic event.
Hope that all is well over there... what an awful thing to happen...
I just heard of it on another blog. I am glad to hear that Abby's area should be fine. Chat with you later.
