This morning we flew back to the capital and were given a tour of the capital. Needless to say, the quake devastation was depressing. Many buildings were destroyed and many more were damaged to the point where they can not be rebuilt. Tent cities are in some of the nicest areas of the city.
Above is the famous photo of the Presidential Palace, where people were killed and are still buried.
Many of the main government buildings were destroyed, and many workers were killed, which has massively hurt the rebuilding effort.
Wow, what used to be my residence approximately 10 minutes from the White House is most likely no longer standing. Though I was unable to go my heart went with the entire crew. As most people have testified we are people with much "resilience" and in the word of our great leader the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr " we shall overcome." Praise God for blessing our mission and bringing back the crew safely.
