The Waggoner family is currently spread out all over the place. I just got off the phone with Mom and she now has Ellie saying her name, "me", "the end" (at the end of books), and "just fine!"
Dad is coming home tonight and we're all anxious to see him again and his photographs (hopefully I can get some posted when I get back from this conference).
Meanwhile, Nathan has been patiently working his way down to Cusco, Peru. The bad weather in Atlanta on Saturday turned a 1.5 day trip to Peru into 3. They should be arriving sometime on Tuesday (they were supposed to arrive on Sunday, but missed the flight to Lima, then couldn't get on a connecting flight to Cusco until Tuesday).

Thanks to all who expressed concern for the damage sustained in Vlashaj. The ministry building thankfully has barred windows on the first floor to protect from looting (I think the front door is secure). The Prosekus home (featured in the only footage of the explosion and also owned by Planters) is a different story and it may be months before they can move back home. More importantly, everyone is safe. Had Dad and Mandi not been delayed in leaving the village, they would have been on the autostrata and potentially in a more more dangerous place. As it was, they were out in the street and away from flying glass. Also, the kids program had wrapped up shortly before so none of the children were in the center when the windows blew out
(whether they were injured in the homes, I don't know). Nevertheless, this traumatic event will be one they remember for a long, long time. I hope to share more current information when Dad gets home.
