Tomorrow

Unfortunately, the hurricane is scheduled to reach us tomorrow afternoon, around three o'clock. Fortunately, we have been staying updated on the weather changes, and have been making preparations.

Yesterday, the Uruguayan Military came bearing water for our children. The water is going on the second floor of the primary school, along with the children. Windows are being boarded up as we speak, along with Father Marc leading an emergency meeting with the staff. Plans have been made for extra food and storage, placements of vehicles and animals (Chub will stay in my room with me), and other ends are being tied up. We have boys on the roof of the quad securing our water tanks, and covering skylights. We are on top of it.

Shortly, our satellite will be taken down, so I will not be updating until the storm passes. I do have my cell phone, along with extra phone cards, so I will be keeping in touch. I will let you all know how we make out. Don't worry too much- I love you!
