prayers

I know you are all praying, and I am so thankful! I just wanted to let you know that we especially need them in the next few days because there were some shootings in Taxco yesterday morning and a lot of people in our group are very concerned. I don't really feel unsafe and I'm not that worried, as my host parents have said that this is very rare.

I have come to a new realization of how thankful I must be for the peace I have in God - that I know I can put all my fears and worries in His hands - and leave them there. There are some people in our group who would like to find someone to blame the situation on, and there is simply not anyone specific to blame. It is difficult to understand and reach out to people with this constantly negative attitude who do not have a security in Christ to help comfort them. Please pray that our program director will have wisdom to deal with people who are upset, for safety for the remainder of our trip, and that God will be glorified - the world is in His hands.

thanks!
love,
hannah
