An Update...

First of all, let me say sorry that there are no pictures in this post.  Really I just wanted to update you all about what has been happening in our lives really quickly since I am using a borrowed comupter, so as fast as I can here I go...

First, we went to Livingston last week, where Mario´s family is, to visit his dad and his grandma who are both very sick.  While we were there someone broke into our house and stole our computer, television, and a few other things.  While we don´t know who did it, we suspect the security guards who are in charge of our neighborhood had something to do with it.  A shady, suspiscious situation althogether.  The fact that it happened a Wednesday morning between 8am and 10am doesn´t take our suspiscion away from them. 

Anyway, we don´t feel safe where we are and we definitely don´t trust the guards- both very ironic things because we moved into this house because we felt it was a safe neighborhood where I would be able to stay home alone if needed without any worry, and because the guards are paid to watch our neighborhood.  So now we are praying about what to do.  We have found, with some help from friends from our church, an apartment that is the same price we are paying now, closer to the base, and in a safe neighborhood (the owner of the apartment lives downstairs so he would be there to watch over it when we aren´t home) but we have to see if the owner of the house we are in will free us from our contract and give us back the extra month´s rent that we have paid him.  We are going to meet with him tonight to see, so I will keep you updated on the process.

In the meantime we ask you to be praying for us.  We have spent LOTS of quality time together since we don´t have any electronic devises to distract us, but we would like to replace the items that were stolen at some point.  We also ask that you would pray for our peace.  We are thankful that we weren´t home when it happened, but anyone who has ever been through anything similar knows the feeling of having a stranger enter into your home.  It just doesn´t feel good.  Okay, that is all for now but I will try my best to update again soon. Thank you!
