For Reverend Felipe Sanchez Lorenzo
Beloved:
This hurricane hit hard in the province of Pinar del Rio and Isla de la Juventud in Cuba in the last of 26 000 dwellings (houses) that existed 20 000 are affected and 10 000 of them disappeared completely with everything they had inside, and say, there are 10 000 families were left with nothing.
residential buildings lost their tanks full of water were pulverized by the wind.
have been sent a group of doctors, psychologists and other health professionals, it is expected that after the fervor of the early days in the struggle for recovery, these families will face the harsh reality and have nothing left and fall into a depression.
In the Isle of Youth, it takes about 30 days to have power again and thus light, which affects people in every way. There is a loss of 1 400 utility poles and 200 transformers. The pylons that link to Pinar del Rio with National Energy System are all in the ground along nearly 144 km and more than 158 towers are unrecoverable because they are totally twisted by the force of the winds, all that will take months to install new and Pinar del Rio that can connect New National Energy System.
The bread is every two days on the Isle of Youth, it has only been able to recover a bakery, there is no TV signal because the TV tower was destroyed. Communications are affected by more than 96% and while already in the Isla de la Juventud and Pinar del Rio electrical and telephone brigades over 5 provinces, will be a long work period. La Isla de la Juventud looks like a war zone.
Temples have been seriously damaged and other disappeared from the face of the earth. There are many brothers and sisters fully exposed and I think we have something to do about it, being in the same way the brothers help each other, the Church in Cuba and our brothers in the nations must begin to act before the disaster so great suffered by our brothers in the Isla de la Juventud and Pinar del Rio
The Army prepared the airport in time of war and are now entering aircraft 24 hours a day with food and all sorts of help for these people; are leading to the Island Youth power plants for less power to run the bakeries and other important services. Seriously ill patients were moved to Havana as the Hospital de la Isla de la Juventud was destroyed in part. Attention has been given the 36 dialysis patients in the Pinar del Rio area in both places are churches that were destroyed.
Thank God that no human loss, but it was not long for these two territories to fully recover, we have not been able to communicate with brothers from the Isle of Youth and Pinar del Rio as there is no telephone.
We are planning, as we receive aid siblings, a road trip to Pinar del Rio and then by sea to the Isle of Youth to offer help to our brothers and carry the message of peace to many people in need, There are 25 brothers willing to leave as missionaries the disaster areas, if someone else wants to join the group contact in this way.
We covet your prayers for these territories and their inhabitants to the mercy, favor and grace of God will be felt in their lives.
Time to go beyond the intentions, our brothers need us.
In the precious name of Jesus.
Reverendo Felipe Sánchez Lorenzo.
