Elder Winslett's sister here. Not sure if you guys heard about the earthquake that hit Mexico earlier today. No, the epicenter wasn't in Ben's area, but it was felt there.
[Here] is the initial link to the story. Some highlights from the article...
The U.S. Geological Service initially estimated the quake at magnitude at 6.8, but downgraded it to 6.7 and then 6.5. A quake of that magnitude is capable of causing severe damage, although the depth of this temblor lessened its impact.
The USGS said the quake occurred at a depth of 40.3 miles (64.9 kilometers). It was centered about 26 miles (42 kilometers) southwest of Iguala in Guerrero and 103 miles (166 kilometers) south-southwest of Mexico City.
The rest of the article describes a massive quake they had 26 years ago, and some of the activities that were interrupted between the epicenter in Guerrero and Mexico. I know the Lord will protect his missionaries, but I will edit this message as we get more news.
