We wanted to keep you up to date. Also thought you might be comforted by the way Jehovah's Witnesses, as an organization, cared for the needs of those who experienced disaster worldwide in the last year. Please read When Disaster Strikes, Love Moves Us to Action (if you haven't already).

Aaron and I are prepared for disaster, should one strike. Well...as prepared as we can be. If that should fail and the worst happen, our hope can be summed up in these two articles: Peace on Earth—How Will it Come? and What Will God's Kingdom Do? We'd rather continue living, of course.
