A big "Thank you" to all our friends who responded so propmtly and generously with encouragement and assurances of prayer. Our friends in Robledo (the neighbourhood where the seminary has its campus) report a day of tense calm. Yesterday at midday there was chaos and fear as rumours spread and hundreds of worried parents flocked to local schools to collect their children and take them home earlier than normal. In the afternoon the whole area looked desertic, and in the evening everybody obeyed the curfew "just in case".
Today there was a tense calm in the air. Educational authorities decided to open all schools, and although they did, many parents opted for not sending their children and wait until Monday hoping that by then things would have gone back to normal.
This particular crisis seems to be over, thankfully, but remember to pray for this city from time to time. There are very ugly things going on as different armed groups try to reconquer territory and power. Earlier on this week, two boys, not even teenaegers yet, were cruelly tortured and killed apparently for having crossed one of the millions of imaginary frontiers that divide the heavily populated "comunas" .
