Mel's Back!!!

Just wanted to inform everyone that the "ousted" ex-president Mel has returned to Honduras and is hiding out in the Brazilian embassy. This has caused riots , demonstrations, and curfews for all of us here in Honduras- however I wanted to reassure everbody I as well as the other missionaries with WGO are doing fine. We are far way enough from the city that were out of harms way, and out of the demonstrations. I do ask for pray for Honduras as a country, because this could get bad, Mel is causing a lot of problems between the Hondurans and sparking anger and rebellion. Which is exactly what he wants to do. Also we have been having like in home arrest kinda curfews , where we are not allowed to leave our houses, which in a way keeps most safe, but cuases problems for those who have to sell tortillas or whatever else to live, or eat that day. Today they actually lifted the curfew from 10am to 4pm so that people could go grocery shopping to be able to eat and get supplies, but its been rough for most which I am sure has caused aggravation and anger for some which in turn causes problems itself. This country needs as much prayer as we can get. Pray that they can capture Mel and end this safely and quickly. Pray that no other countries try to get involved and cause this problem to worsen. Also for all the people of this country in general. For the hunger/homeless, for the unsaved to find Christ, and for all the otehr issues people daily have to live with.(nasty water, sickeness, abuse, ect...)
I thought it was nessecary to inform you all on what is going on and to let you know I am doing perfectly fine, safe and sound, and to ask you all to please pray with me for everythign I have discussed. I love and missssss you all back home, and want to thank you for your prayers! God Bless !!!! (I will try to update on the situation here when i can so just keep checking back periodically...I also try to inform my parents with any new information, so if you have questions that aren't answered here- they may be able to answer them...)
-lots of love and prayers-
