unShaken in Timor

ByAndrada

Yes… on 27.05.2022, around 11:30 am, there was another earthquake in Timor… but it was the first one here!

I was in the house in Gleno… It was such a weird feeling, cause it lasted more than the one in Australia (my only other experienced comparison). At first, I thought I was dizzy cause it looked like the room was moving, but because it lasted more, and came in two waves… I realized what it was: an earthquake.

Luke was in the car in Dili, “the suspension took most of it so all I felt was some car rocking, like one or two people shaking the car side to side. Shaken, not stirred!” he said.

The quake occurred at a depth of 10km and struck about 29km East-South-east of Lospalos. There are no reports of life loss. Praise God!

We all react differently, in moments of uncertainty, but when founded on the Rock, we remain unshaken.

Love, L&A

    My Key!

    ByAlicia Gugu

    This morning before I began walking from our rental house out to the building site where we are building the community center, I locked the door to our rental house and carefully put the key in my pocket as I began down the dusty road. “Dusty” is key (pun intended!) because anything small that lands…

    Due to visa extensions/applications, we needed to travel quite often to Dili, as you might know by now, it’s a ride full of beauty and at the same time full of obstacles…. But the trips are worthwhile – when you have friends at both ends of the road. In Dili, we got to meet some…
