Happy, Happy News in Reference to Michelle Sandoval!

Posted by lenleatherwood on January 29, 2014

I have just learned Michelle is safe.

She is in the home of her aunt a good eight hours away from the man who took her to Guatemala.

She is not pregnant.

Her aunt, a first cousin and another family member traveled across Guatemala over the weekend and presented themselves en masse on the doorstep of the man who took her. They demanded that he release her.
The man let her go and now she is safe.

Michelle is happy, relieved and penitent.

Thanks be to God.

Tears of joy roll down my face as I write this.

Hallelujah.

Thank you all for your love and support during this. What a happy day.
