Week 45: An unexpected tragedy (week 14 of pregnancy)

We just found out that our friend Pepelucho (whose real name is Jose Luis) (those of you who came to Ecuador might remember him), fell off of a pickup truck while they were driving in Puyo and suffered severe bleeding in his brain. They brought him to a hospital in Quito and did what they could to help him, but he did not wake up at all once he arrived and after several hours in the hospital he passed away. He was about my age and one of Jairo´s best friends. Please pray for safety as we travel to Puyo tonight for the funeral and for the Holy Spirit´s comfort for all of his family and friends, especially his mother who will be coming in from Spain to the funeral.
