My friends at Focus

Yesterday I received a call from Sam Foster who is my boss at work telling me the news that our friends who were traveling to Guatamala had been in a plane crash. We had 5 Focus employee's traveling to Guatamala to do a yearly Humanitarian project for a village down there. They had arrived in Guatamala City Saturday evening and on Sunday morning boarded a small airplane that would take them to the village where they would give service. The pilots reported engine trouble and went in to make an emergency landing in a field but they weren't able to. Four out of the five Focus people died and the survivor is in critical condition in a hospital in Guatamala. It really made me stop and think about how precious life really is. You never know when your time will be and every second of your life is so very precious. I think it will be something that helps me remember the important things in life and that we should take advantage of every single moment we have with the ones we love.

That is so sad Jess, I saw that on the news, but I did not know that they were focus people, I am so sorry. If there is something I can do let me know. Love Amy
