Thoughts on being robbed

I know can claim, "I've been robbed at gunpoint." Its not exactly something I ever wished to be able to say. Currently I'm wondering if I'll ever in my life be able to get back in one of those buses…if nothing else I'll wonder and pray every time I think until I get home. I'm also wondering how long the image of the young man sitting next to me, standing up and pointing a gun at me while saying "everyone lay down" will stick with me. Or the memory of lying in an extremely uncomfortable and awkward position on the floor while wondering where on earth we were, what on earth is going to happen and if it would ever end. God is still good in the end…I'm ALIVE. I have a few scraps and plenty of bruises, I los equipment (some of it my dad's) worth about $2,000, but what is that compared to my life. I had a friend with me who is also still alive, after being threatened about three times, that they were going to kill him. After they stopped threatening him (because they finally figured out he had actually given them his phone), he lay on the floor, space the is barely big enough to fit your knees, with me laying semi, and very awkwardly on top of him and wrapped his arms around me while I lay there trying to be quiet yet crying. When it was over (the thugs/thieves, who are related to an outlawed and very violent sect, jumped out somewhere on the road and left a bus full of cry, angry people lying on the bus floor) I had lost my phone, my dad's Canon Rebel Camara, my Canon sureshot Camera, my tripod, my notebook full of important info, my wallet, my drivers license (from the states), my press pass, my Heart of Evangelism Book (required reading for WJI), and my PASSPORT. Yes my passport…I'm leaving, flying out of the country in 5 and I repeat FIVE days!!! But yet again I say all is well because I came out of the situation alive and generally unhurt. Viyerrah came out alive and generally unhurt…expect where the thug clocked him alongside his head with the gun (no blood though and I hope not a concussion). I'm sure there will be more to come on this experience but my meds (I took something to help me sleep) are finally kicking in.
