8.8 EARTHQUAKE ! ! ! 2-27-10 3:34am

Good Morning everyone!
I'm sure you're as shocked this morning as we were to wake up and see the news about the earthquake in Chile and of course, we're are very concerned about Jaren and the other missionaries safety. This is what we know:

Jaren is currently in the city of Ovalle which is 5 hours north of Vina del Mar. Vina del Mar is about 1 hour north of Santiago.
He is also about an 1.5 hours inland--so safe from Tsunamis as well. We haven't heard from Jaren but Jentry talked this morning with some friends in Ovalle that he's made on facebook. They felt the quake pretty strong. They say there is some damage there but everyone in Ovalle is safe.

We'll post more when we know, but we feel pretty sure that he is OK.
Love to you all!
