UPDATED information! Monday
Saturday 5 people went down a stream on a man-made river and 2 of them fell off a 30(ish) foot waterfall onto rocks. God was definately present and everything went as best as it could, and the simplified version is that 3 helicopters came and flew them out and the two that fell off the waterfall were sent to the hospital. Sharon has some scratches and bruises, but is okay, Nicolas got 7 or 8 stitches on his face, but Amanda broke her pelvus in 8 spots and punctured her lung. She had surgery yesterday and it all went well, but she will be having corrective surgery on thursday and should be in able to leave the hospital in 2-3 weeks. She is not allowed to fly for 11-12 weeks, but she wants to come back to finish our DTS and go on outreach. Her parents are flying to see her on Tuesday. I would like to ask for prayer for a speedy recovery so that she can fly back here and continue in our school. Pray that God will use this situation for His glory! Thank you all so much for being there for me!

I'm praying for them for sure. FYI, you didn't have to worry about waking me because I was awake at the time you found out and had this weird feeling that you had something to tell me. When you didn't call I just went to bed because I thought I was making it up.
Dear Joel;
Satan is like a roaring lion constantly seeking for ways to kill steal and destroy our lives so we can't be in service to God.
Protection for your group is always in our minds and prayers.
Love, Mom
