Prayers :friends family in danger

with all the news about the election and hurricanes, I don't know if anyone caught the news that Bolivia has thrown out the US Ambassador. Well, one of my former students works for that Embassay. I spoke to her mother the other night. My former student was caught in DC while her family, husband and 2 kids are stuck in bolivia. Hopefully they can get out soon, but if they do they can only take one suitcase each.


They are afraid when they leave their house will be looted.


 


please keep them in your thoughts and prayers...wonderful family...she is truly a good will ambassador from the USA to the world..Bolivia, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Slovakia...


thanks

Dutch

Hi Dutch


This is indeed a scary situation. I cannot imagine being in the US while my family is in a foriegn country and getting them out safely would be such a terrible strain. I will indeed be keeping this family in my prayers. If their house is looted there will be nothing they can do about it. If the family gets out and back together safely with one suitcase or none it will be wonderful.


HUGS

I knew this was taking a back seat to other news


but even before this situation I thought "they really should be paying more attention to Latin america"


its Evo Morales in Bolivia and his buddy Chavez in Venezuela

Sending prayers the family is soon reunited. I hadn't known of this either. Will do a search later. Can't imagine the terror she must be feeling.


Is this another time to write our politicians? Do what needs to be done to bring them home.
