update on riots



the riots seem to have broken up.  there are cars on the streets again but still no chapas (buses).  late last night, an agreement was made to re-discuss the price increase on chapas and around 7:30 this morning, a couple of chapas passed the center with a police escort firing off tear gas.  throughout the morning we heard a few random gun shots but everything appears normal now.  i have not left the center yet but a couple of missionaries have and they said it was like driving though a war zone....cars burnt up, buildings vandalized, remains of burnt tires that had served as road blocks the day before.  

thank you for your prayers yesterday and please continue to cover us!!!
