Dear all,
We would like to thank you all for your emails and prayers for us. Cyclone Eloise hit us quite hard but not as hard as Idai two years ago, thank goodness. We are all doing fine. The children slept all night long, which really helped us all. Some water came into the house but it wasn't that much and I don't think there is a house in Beira that didn't have a drop of water enter the house that night. Thankfully the cyclone caused little physical harm to people but it was the rain that caused the most disruption, even before the storm, there was flooding and people from rural areas were evacuated to the city. So we have some displaced people in tents at some of the schools, waiting to be able to go back to their homes, which are hopefully still standing.
The meeting we mentioned with Pastors obviously didn't happen and we are waiting for it to be rescheduled.
We will be sending out a prayer letter very soon with more details and photos.
We really appreciate your support. It wasn't easy and now as we get over the cyclone, we remember the other problem we have of covid. We will meet with a rep from the British High Commission tomorrow to see how the British Government can support us with a lack of health resources here. They have already sent 4 people here from the UK to provide support for the cyclone sufferers. We give thanks to God for that.
Many thanks again,
Sergio, Liz, Chloe and Joshua.
