There is a lot of beauty to this place and yet there is much destruction still. The work effort here in higamatsushima has been incredible but far from being done, there are still many people who are living in temporary housing and dealing with the loss of family, children and their homes. Last night we were told a story how the people of the island that we were at only lost several people (something under 10 people) but the people just on the other side of the island (on the main land) over 200 died. There was even a story that I heard that after the quake this bus driver freaked out, got out of the bus and locked it while it was in the middle of the road...this caused a traffic jam and many people to die. The Lord is good though!! He allowed us to be with people and bless them with food and presents (in the next post).
