Prayers are needed...

Hello again,
I am overcome with emotion. Today we had school, which we really shouldnt´of because the governmetn told everyone not to because of the floods. But anyway, we got to school, I taught one class, it was going well. My kids were being EXTRA loving and I thought to myself ¨today will be a good day!¨ Well not so much, soon after Ms. Jessie came in and told me that the bridge was about to break so the kids who were going to La Paz had to leave RIGHT then. So they were frantically getting their stuff into their bags and one of my girls, Shellsea, looked up at me and said, with tears inher eyes, ¨Miss, I don´t want to leave you!¨ She was afraid that maybe she wouldn´t see me again. I´m sure that the bus made it over the bridge safely, although I haven´t heard yet. She brought tears to my eyes. I love these kids, I realized that today the most.
I think about the families who have lost their homes, lost loved ones, my heart aches for them.
Kasey (my brother) died on November 7, 1999. It´s coming up, I already have thought about how hard it is going to be to be away from home, away from the cemetary, and away from my mom. Every year I go to the cemetary, to just remember him. BUt not this year. I am thousands of miles away. I´m keeping my head held high though, I know that this is where God wants me. I´m here for a reason. We´re going to go out and help the people who will lose their homes. I say WILL because they have to let the Dam open if it gets to full, so it won´t break... they already have let it down a few times, and caused people in Comayagua to lose their homes. They will do it again today or tomorrow, as it keeps raining. We will go out to help then.
Keep the people on Honduras in your prayers. Please.
ANd keep the seven of us, in your prayers as well.
Thanks so much!

P.S. I lost a brother, too. It still hurts. I want Jesus to come very, very soon so I can see him and the others again.
