A 6.4 Earthquake hit Albania at 3:54am on Tuesday, November 26, 2019. At lease 49 people have been killed and 2,000 have been injured. There are at least 4,000 homeless. The earthquake hit Durrës which is about 35 kilometres from Tirana, which is where our couple live. Elder and Sister Jones felt the quake and have felt several after shocks since. We were in Lisbon, Portugal when the earthquake occurred in Albania, but Gary was able to write an emergency response project.
Below are just a few of pictures which we have received. Elder and Sister Jones are not just getting their toes wet as they begin their mission, they are jumping in with both feet.
We are thankful that all the missionaries are safe. Some of their apartments were badly damaged, but they are all okay.
