Dear family and friends,

La Paz is now directly in the path of Hurricane John and expecting the worst sometime later tonight. Please pray for all our friends and colleagues in the city. We are frustrated because we're stuck in San Diego and can't get home, not even knowing what our home will look like when we get back. Pray for everyone's safety. We'll keep you posted as we hear anything.

David and Joyce
