I just wanted to write a quick note to everyone that may read this. On Saturday night my grandma Ruth and her friend Irene were flying back from a hiking trip in Utah. My parents went to pick them up at the airport and on the way home the car was in a three car accident. From what I have been told it sounds like my parents' car was t-boned by a large delivery truck and the truck by another car. The jaws of life were used to cut the doors off of the drivers side of the car and everyone was taken to the hospital. (If you live in Salinas and were watching KION 10pm news you may have seen a quick little blurb about the accident.) My mom and grandma were taken to Natividad hospital in north Salinas and my dad and Irene were taken to Memorial hospital which is about a couple blocks from my house in south Salinas. My mother was released from the hospital that night with a large bump above her eye and very colorful black eye. My dad is still in Memorial with 6 broken ribs and hooked up to a morphine drip, although the hospital is hoping to release my dad maybe today, Tuesday, or tomorrow. My grandma is still at Natividad but she is only being monitored for aches and pain because she is pain from the accident. I don't know currently what is going on with Irene but if I hear anything I will let all of you know.
It is difficult for me to be so far away from my family when something so scary happens at home but if I want to work on the mission field full time then I need to learn to trust God when it comes to these types of situations. I really feel like God is trying to teach me to rely on him during these situations because unlike when I am in the states I cannot run home at the drop of a hat.
Please pray for a quick recovery among my family and comfort for me and the rest of my family during this time.
