,,, I'm fine. Thanks for asking. This one's an absolute disaster. Guess what? We first heard about it an hour or so after it happened from good friends in Iowa! We turned the radio on and sure enough... we dropped TV almost a month ago; we're sick to death of the BS.

We're in the lower North Island so we're OK. Christchurch had a 7,1 on September 4 last year but they reckon that was nothing compared to yesterday's 6,3.

Glad you and yours are safe! Will continue to pray for those in Christchurch.

Good Luck to you folks down there!

My only special interest in New Zealand is the filming of ‘The Hobbit’, which has had many problems. Do you know if their filming locations have been damaged?
