It has been some time since I have posted about China; tonight I ask for your prayers for the people of China.
If you have been following weather-related news here in the USA, you know that we have endured some very cold and snowy weather in many places, including here in the Pacific Northwest. China has been suffering much the same thing, only in many ways much worse.
Over the last few days China has been enduring some of the worst weather in more than 50 years. News two days ago reported that 19 million police officers have been called up, along with the PLA to keep the situation as under control as possible. Transportation is at a standstill across China including Em's birthplace of Hunan Province.
A dear friend in Hunan emailed me to say that many are without power and some are without tap water.
CNN reports tonight that fuel and supplies of rice could begin to run out in some areas.
More information can be found on CNN's website: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/02/01/china.weather/index.html
On behalf of friends and family in China, thank you for your prayers.
Love,
Kim
