hey greenyears!
i'm about to fly off to Shanghai soon but am writing this cos my annoying flight has been delayed for 2 hours. due to some technical checks, that's what i heard. i overheard what one lady sitting behind me said, 'as long as the technical checks are done now instead when we're in the air, it's fine'. yea i kinda agree with her. so no complains.
anyway don't think i'd be with you all the next 2 weeks so you all take care. and please pray for journey mercy. no worries i'll keep you all in prayer too!
all the best to all those working, looking for jobs cos of school holidays, those schooling or those serving national service! see y'all in 2 weeks!
in Christ,
Enqing

Excerpt of an email fr a fren in Sichuan
...在这里我恳求大家继续为四川的受灾地区祷告，我来了才知道，情况比我想象的严重很多。新闻报道是7.8级，但是真实的消息是有8.3级，比1976 年的唐山大地震更严重，也是四川有史以来最最严重的一次地震。地震的中心是四川省的文川县，受灾严重地区有文川附近的一些小县城。成都市区没有受到太大影 响。目前的情况是救援物资和人员大部分到达成都，现在救援人员只能靠跑步进入文川县，因为地震引发了泥石流把所有进入文川的路都破坏了，车和飞机都无法进 去。里面的情况还完全不清楚，但估计是非常惨重的。另外，有一个小城镇几乎夷为平地，2万人口已经证实死了一半了，还有一些学校倒塌，很多学生死伤。据目 前统计 数字，已有多过10,000人证实死亡，而这个数目会继续上升。到处都是无家可归的难民！现在成都地区下大雨，给救援工作带来了很大的阻碍。机场运行依然 无法恢复正常。救援物资：衣服，食物，药物的短缺。让人看了真的很心痛很心痛！而且可能最近还会有余震发生！我的家人也是随时做好逃难的准备...请大家 为这些灾区的受伤人民，死亡者的家属和救援工作祷告... 人的尽头就是神的开头，求神不止拯救中国人的生命，更是拯救中国人的灵魂。愿神的救赎临到中国...
Please continue to pray earnestly for the victims of this terrible earthquake; and do not forget the Myanmar cyclone victims too...
