Vivian sharing God's love Letter from a survivor from the earthquake (translated): April 16, 2016   The Earthquake Day Letter It all began at 6:50 pm.  We were near the park and I kneeled down, crying I saw the buildings began to collapse, we ran to our house and with our family ran to the soccer field where we were told to wait for the tsunami.  Fear struck me when two boys ran by saying “Here comes the tsunami!!!”.   We were altogether, little by little the field was filled with people, all of us crying.  When I woke up, they told me that my brother, Walter was dead.  When I looked at the building he was in, I saw him dead, suffocated by the debris.  I couldn’t believe that my brother was dead.
