They have been trying to to reach them since this happened but without any success yet. I hope and pray he has good news.

Good news from my friend:

The good news for us, however, is that through the google person finder, we came in contact with a person, who mentioned that he happened to communicate with my brother-in-law a few hours after the earthquake and tsunami, when the whole family (6) was taking shelter in the storage room in the second floor of their house. We are still unable to contact with them due to disruption in communication system.
Since they survived the initial impact of tsunami, it gives enough reason and hope to believe that they are alive and must be taking shelter somewhere. So, we did not lose heart, and are now trying constantly to know there whereabouts.

Please pray for them and for all the people of Japan.
