Too close for comfort

"The diplomatic staff of all NATO countries are our targets," said Ehsanullah Ehsan, a Taliban spokesman, told Reuters via telephone from an undisclosed location. "We will continue such attacks. Pakistan is our first target, and America is our second." Article printed on Friday, May 20, 2011

Unfortunately my family and I are in close shooting range being just 900 miles away from where Bin Laden was killed. We are on the highest alert we can be here at the Embassy in India. We are a NATO country Embassy and we are diplomatic staff. We are asked to vary our routes, and keep a low profile. We kind of do that any way. Although I don't live in fear...I do ask for your prayers of safety for us here. I will be leaving the country next week with Ganae and Jeshua for our two month summer break. Leonardo will stay a while longer with Elise, who is also working as a student summer hire at the Embassy and they will leave in Mid-June. Any way...I look forward to being home. If any of you need to get a hold of me during the next two months, you can reach me on Jonathan's old phone number which is 512-297-5757, or Leonardo's parents home number which is 512-448-2871 beginning June 1.
