“Papi Wil” (Wilfredo Mayorga) David’s Honduran grandfather, a well respected retired journalist in Honduras, sent news about the earthquake that struck Central America early this morning.

GRACIAS A DIOS TODOS EN MI FAMILLIA ESTAMOS BIEN Y NO HEMOS SUFRIDO NINGUN DAÑO…
DESPUES DEL TERREMOTO ESCALA 7.1 QUE ESTE DIA A LAS 2:25 AM SACUDIERA TODO NUESTRO PAIS,GRACIAS A DIOS ESTAMOS BIEN.
DE ANTEMANO AGRADEZCO LAS MUESTRAS DE PREOCUPACION Y ORACIONES DE NUESTROS AMIGOS Y FAMILIARES DENTRO Y FUERA DE HONDURAS…

DIOS BENDIGA HONDURAS..RGAMOS SUS PLEGARIAS PARA QUE ESTE PUEBLO SE PUEDA LEVANATAR CON LA GARRA CATRACHA QUE NOS CARACTERIZA.

P.D: LASTIMOSAMENTE PERDIMOS UNO DE LOS PUENTES DE LA DEMOCRACIAS PERO NO HUBO VICTIMAS QUE LAMENTAR…

GRACIAS QUE DIOS LES BENDIGA….

ADJUNTO IMAGENES DEL PUENTE…..

Translation:

THANK GOD EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY IS FINE. WE HAVE NOT SUFERRED ANY DAMAGES. THE EARTHQUAKE MEASURED 7.1 AT 2:25 A.M. AND SHOOK OUR COUNTRY OF HONDURAS. THANK THE LORD WE ARE FINE. I APPRECIATE ALL THE CONCERNS AND THE PRAYERS FROM ALL OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS IN HONDURAS AS WELL AS OUTSIDE OF HONDURAS. GOD BLESS HONDURAS AND WE PRAY FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY TO QUICKLY RECOVER!

UNFORTUNATELY WE LOST ONE OF OUR MAJOR BRIDGES, THE BRIDGE OF DEMOCRACY, BUT DID NOT LOSE ANY LIVES.

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.
