. . . at least 46 [of our brother's homes] have been damaged or destroyed. Some 85 families (475 publishers) have been temporarily relocated to the homes of brothers or relatives. . . Representatives ... a local circuit overseer and congregation elders, visited our brothers and sisters to provide comfort and Scriptural encouragement.

The news was sad at first - and still is - but seeing how so many brothers - likely strangers in some cases - are taking in so many fellow worshippers who need homes and support is encouraging. We get to host people in our terribly modest apartment from time to time and it is a blessing, I can only imagine what it's like for all the friend's in India right now (the struggles, heartbreaks and simultaneously the encouragement and support)
