Earthquakes, volcanos and tremors

We have truly come to a different part of the world. During our training for emergencies in the temple, the majority of the time was spent on earthquakes or severe tremors. Now I bet in the Manhattan Temple, Carl and Linda learned about attempted invasions or terrorists or something. But in reality, the temple is built to withstand even severe earthquakes, so that is where I'd want to be if a big one hit. One day when we were in the temple there was a pretty strong tremor and the power was on reduced power (lights) from the emergency for quite some time. Today while I was studying we had another strong tremor that moved my chair and made the light over the table sway for about 12 seconds. We read in the paper that the southern and western part (we actually live in the western highlands--the northern part is considered to be Peten which is in the eastern part where Tikal is) of Guatemala has had 2031 tremors in the last 16 months. We are definitely part of the "Ring of Fire" that circles the Pacific Rim. In addition our many tremors (most in the 4-5 range on the Richter Scale) we have lots of volcanoes. Some are extinct, but many are still active. About 5 weeks ago, one that normally spews only steam was sending lava down the mountainside near Antigua. It was threatening homes and caused evacuations, but then I didn't hear anymore about it. We got some of the ash here and the air quality was zilch for a few days. Then last week, both Spencer and I kept waking up in the morning with horrible sinus headaches. When I mentioned it to another temple worker, she said a volcano just outside of our city that normally only has smoke was spewing out ash and sulfur gases--no wonder our sinuses were messed up! All parts of the world have challenges, don't they? I pray daily for protection from forest fires in Arizona.
