This is the latest update we've seen from Leslie, Jack & Sarah's daughter. Please continue to join us all in prayer over these couples and the many more who are stranded after Hurricane Irma and facing another one in the coming hours.
Update...we have heard from our parents again.
Here's what we know:
We know that the Lord is still very much at work! Over the past several hours, the Lord has continued to allow us to network with folks who have been helping us and may continue to offer even more help in the coming hours and days. We still have hope that our parents will be coming home soon.
But, we have also experienced a bit of a roller coaster of emotions in the past several hours. From the picture we're being painted by both our government and Ms. Kay [Daniel], it looks as though the evacuation of Americans will be waiting until after the passing of Hurricane Jose.
Our parents seem to be terrified of the coming storm as they have no true shelter at this time. In some of our recent communication with Ms. Kay , we learned more about the pictures she sent that were previously posted [on Facebook]. These were from their room and a room close to theirs; the room beside theirs is completely gone after Hurricane Irma. (Ms. Kay said one lady took cover under a mattress during Hurricane Irma, and the storm sucked the mattress out the window.) For Jose, the protection of walls and windows no longer exist. Please pray for protection in the palm of the Lord's hand.
We've also learned that generators have now been turned off; we assume it's in anticipation of Jose. We're expecting communication to become even more scarce between their foursome and us kids.
Finally, please simply pray for "4 empty seats."
Thank you for continuing to pray with us!
