He gives and takes away...my heart will CHOOSE to say...blessed be Your name!

WOW...what a weekend we had. After a fun night out with friends on Saturday to celebrate Steven's birthday Jen and Alison went home while Megan, Daylan and I headed out to another house where we have been house sitting. At about 4 am to men broke into our house through our back window. They cut the chain link fence, cut through the two layers of bars on our windows, pulled out the glass and slid through the whole. They went into Alison's room on the first floor and asked for her money. When she started to scream they said, "Shut up or we will kill you". She stopped screaming and they proceeded to take her money, camera, laptop, phone, watch...then went upstairs. Jen was sleeping in our room with the door closed and they left her alone. They went into Daylan's room and took her laptop and i pod. We are not sure about other minor things that could have been stolen as well. We are blessed to say that neither girl was harmed AT ALL. Although it has been a very scary thing for all of us we are holding fast to God's protection. After all it is just stuff..and stuff can be replaced. At this time we are still waiting for a police report. Yesterday we went to the station and had to pick up an officer to come and check it out because they do not have police cars. Thankfully they have been somewhat cooperative but we cannot fix the window until they have written a report and taken pictures of the scene. So, for now we are staying with other missionaries until we can get it fixed. Please just pray for peace and protection for all of us. It is hard being scared in your own home...but we know that God did protect us! Thank you for your payers so far! If you have any questions feel free to email me!
