Žao mi je tih ljudi, skoro 4500 mrtvih je strašna brojka. Posle tri nedelje još uvek traže nestale po ruševinama, nadam se da će bar neke porodice naći svoje. Držimo se u molitvi za njih.

Samuel Anderson

That's a heartbreaking number, almost 4,500 dead. Three weeks later and they're still pulling through the rubble for the missing—my heart goes out to those families hoping for any word. I'll keep them in my prayers tonight.

Helen Anderson

That's a terrible toll, Samuel. Three weeks on and still digging through rubble in places like Caracas and Mérida—it's hard to imagine what those families are going through. I'll add them to my prayer list at vespers this week too.

Sarah Evans

That's a lot of lives lost, and the fact that they're still pulling people from the rubble in Mérida after three weeks is just heartbreaking. I'll remember those families at the next bible study too — our group has been praying for disaster victims every meeting lately.

Elizabeth Johnson

That's heartbreaking about Mérida especially — my cousin's parish there lost their old church hall in the first quake. I'll add those families to my prayer list tonight too; our choir's been doing the same after rehearsals.
