Stuck in the Mountains

Even as I type, my husband is trying desperetly to get home from the mountains. Let me explain. Steve left Tuesday morning for an overnight work trip to Kewina. This was supposed to be a quick but busy time spent working on finishing the roof of one of the homes. He was planning on returning Wednesday afternoon some time. I got a call around 1:30 Wednesday that him, and the crew were stuck in a traffic jam caused by a blockade. After six hours in the car hoping for the blockade to break up, they finally called it a night and headed back to the job site to spend another night. They went to bed hoping that an early morning attempt at getting through would work....no such luck. It's now Thursday evening and the latest report is that nothing has moved as far as traffic. Nobody is going anywhere yet! They will be spending another unexpected evening in the mountains. Steve is feeling tired and irritated, understandably so. The protests have remained non-violent, which is a great thing, but this is a hard time nonetheless. I am still struggling with culture shock and this is a hard thing for me to handle. The kids are being very well-behaved for me, which I never take for granted, but I NEED my husband. Please pray that the blockade breaks up soon and our family can be reunited. This country is in turmoil in so many ways, so prayers for Bolivia would be appreciated as well.

Blessings,
