More Unrest in Bolivia

This is the message we received from Elder May's mission president this week.  We are still worried, but this helped.

"Things are about the same here in Bolivia.  There are still blockades in Santa Cruz which restricts our travel by car, taxi or bus.  The outlying areas of Tarija, Bermejo, Camiri, Villamontes, Yacuiba, Puerto Suarez and Puerto Quijarro have more access to transportation within the city but leaving the city is still a problem.

The missionaries are able to work from 10:00 in the morning to 6:30 in the evening.  They are still wearing their P-Day clothes without their name tags.  There have been some demonstrations in Santa Cruz but things are fairly peaceful.  The missionaries have been instructed to return to their homes immediately if they feel unsafe.

I receive updates 3 times a day (morning, lunch time and evening when they return) from the assistants letting me know how the missionaries are doing.  So far, their spirits continue to be good although they would prefer to working longer and do more contacting.

This Sunday, Nov. 3rd, we are joining the members in Bolivia in a fast to bring peace and normalcy back to the country.  If you are able, I would like to ask you join us in this fast.

It is truly a privilege to serve here in Bolivia with these faithful people along side your dedicated and faithful sons and daughters.  This is the Lord's work and he knows the beginning to the end of this work.  

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers."
