"I came back from school at 2:00 p.m. I was very tired. I couldn't even eat dinner. I left my food on the table and I went to my bedroom to take a nap in the basement. I heard a tumult. I thought it was a hurricane. When the house started to shake, I realized it was an earthquake. I went outside and I saw the boys were already in the street. I saw people crying and the houses collapsed. I thought it was the end of the world. I prayed in my heart. After that we went to the campus of U.E.H. There we stayed for many days. I want to let everybody know that if I am not dead, it is by the grace of God, because where I was in the basement, if the house collapsed, I would be dead anyway. Praise the Lord that I am alive! God has a plan for me and this incident has driven me closer to Him."
