Yesterday, we received a phone call that my father-in-law's closest friend had been robbed and killed in El Salvador. He leaves behind four daughters and a wife. :sad: Eight months prior, my father-in-law himself was robbed and assaulted, but was able to free himself from the dangerous situation, by God's grace! :eek:My husband's aunt just came back from a two week vacation in El Salvador and shared with us that while in the city, a man was attacked and killed right in front of them while selling pandulce on his bike. So, where am I going with this? Well, I am terrified to let my husband go back to a country that is considered "politically calm" for the moment, but the crime rate is at a critical high! Not only is this mentioned on government resources, but personal experiences back it up! These kinds of things happen all the time here in the United States, but it seems as though the system is so corrupt in my husband's country. I feel so defeated right now because if he wants to obtain legal status, he must return to his home country. I shudder at the thought of this very same thing happening to my husband because he could be in the wrong place, at the wrong time trying to do the right thing!:bluesad:
