Amber's truck/ police escort


Today we add one more item to the list of "What Amber's truck has been". It's been a hearse (another story, another day), an ambulance (also another day), and today we add "police car". Yes, that's right. We had a cuffed criminal with three policeman in the back of the truck for awhile today. To our work site we took armed police man because the area is known for its heavy gang activity. During the late afternoon, 2 gang members (?) snuck onto the group's bus to steal some backpacks. They were caught by our bus driver who was rightfully scared because gangs "tax" bus drivers at gun point. The driver quickly drove the bus down the hill and called the police. The police caught him, but since they came on the group's bus with us, they didn't have transport, so that left amber, tuh duh! , to drive them to the police station. the picture is of him and the cops in the back of the truck. Please pray for this young man. If the police does prove he's in a gang, he could be in jail for up to 15 years. Life never is boring here in Honduras.
