Its Been So Long

Hi friends and family...
So my goal is to be able to start a blog post without having to say that it's been so long...
But once again apologies.  Life has been pretty crazy.  I was super blessed to go to my good friend Lori's wedding in Haiti in October and since I have been back it has been a little crazy.  I moved into my apartment, well mini castle hand have been crazy running around getting everything that I need for that, but soon it will be set up and next blog, or my news letter (coming soon), I will post pictures.  I also do not have internet in my house yet, which is one of that many reasons it took so long for me to post.  I also pre wrote a blog to copy and paste but alas my friends computer isn't reading my thumb drive so here I am typing it again.
This blog I will try to keep short and sweet, but Colombia really, really needs prayer this weekend.  Sunday is elections here and I am told they have a tendancy to be a little dangerous.  Some gernandes were already thrown and a day care was blown up (it was at night) but two police officers were killed.  On Sunday we are not to leave out houses and this weekend avoid public transport and heavily populated places because of bombs and the like.  Last year went off without really any incidents and other then the two that alreadt happened there is a good chance that this year will be the same, but one can never really now.
Also Monday is Halloween and Halloweed in Colombia is really dark and dangerous as well.  It takes away from all the fun, innocent childhood memories I have of Halloween.  We are openning our jungle club for street kids on Monday night, just has an alternative.  Also today I was just made aware that around Halloween young girls go missing to be offered as sacrifices.  In Cazuca, where Mary works, for those of you who remember her from last time blog post, a little ten year old girl Daniella went missing.  She was not connected to the kids club but a lot of the kids who come to the club know here, so please please pray, that she is alright and that she can come back safe and that no more children are taken.
Also one boy that we work with, his brother is a soldier and was on a mission in the jungle and their group was attacked by guerrillas.  Some of them were killed, but we are unsure if he is just lost or if he is a hostage of if he was one of the ones that were killed.  This little boy is just torn up about his big brother that he looks up to.
Thanks again so much for your prayers and I will do a quik update as soon as possible after halloween to let you know how things went.
Love
Ingie
