Yesterday between 2:00 and 3:00pm local time our house was broken into. Fortunately, no one was home so no one was harmed. Electronics were the primary things that were stolen, mainly laptop computers, including mine. Strangly enough, 3 lap tops were not stolen, including my roommate Drew's, which was just two feet away from mine in plain view.

The police were called, showing up a few hours later. As these things tend to go, we are hopeful, but don't expect to see our things again. One of our good friends in the community who has a "colorful" past has assured us that things will be "taken care of." So, there is a small amount of hope that remains.

My main concern is the personal information, electronic journals, etc. that many of us had on our computers. Please pray that nothing else will come of our loss and that identity theft etc. would not occur. Of course we welcome your prayers for our stuff to be returned and for justice to be served.

While this is a bit of a sour note to end our time in England on, I remain firm in the belief that our God is good. Stuff is replacable and people are not so it is a huge blessing that no one was harmed. Please be in prayer for us as we continue to try to finish our time here strong.

Be Blessed,

Chad
