Every day that I write I’m okay so far.  We may be crying or going crazy in other ways but we’re okay.  We haven’t been successful much in trying to provide equipment for the soldiers, but we have been trying to comfort others as much as possible.  so far so good,

this is an amazing country and people have taken over many of the tasks the government has not been capable of handling – like counting the dead, taking over the farming tasks of those incapable of working, etc.  The government may stink, but the people are incredible.
