Last week I wrote about our friends from Burma  http://blog.canadianparents.com/sarahnb/2008/05/11/burmese-cyclone/  as did my brother  http://occasionallywright.typepad.com/

My mom just called and said everyone is safe.  They received an email and no one was injured or lost.  An amazing story it is.  In Rangoon, you pay your rent a year in advance.  the rental agreement expired at midnight the day before the cyclone hit.  So the day of the cyclone, they were moved into a new apartment.  The old building was demolished and not a single tenant in the new building was killled.  Everyone was safe.

I am so happy for Ruth and Aung that their family is safe and sound.  The last we had heard, it would be 3-4 weeks before a brother in Malaysia would be able to get information.  Thank You God for keeping this family safe.
