They knew God had called them to Waslala, and had faith that He would protect them. But now that faith would be tested like never before....
During their first two years in Nicaragua, Pablo and Euni Yoder and their five children had endured more than a dozen robberies. Their trials had drawn them closer to each other and to God, but as the sun set, Pablo's usually rambunctious family still grew quiet and tense, and a vague foreboding subdued his own naturally boisterous spirit.

Euni nestled in deeper into her loveseat, trying unsuccessfully to concentrate on the notepad in her lap, on which were scrawled the first few lines of a letter to her parents. The darkness, the silence, and the thought of her parents so far away caused a wave of loneliness to wash over her.
The children were all asleep, and everything was quiet. Too quiet. Euni blew out the candle and knelt beside the bed. "Dear Father, I am afraid tonight. I know you care. Please watch over me and my precious family."

Suddenly Kiria pointed toward our house in the valley. "What's that?"
"I was just going to ask the same thing!" Carmen exclaimed.
They gazed in wonder at the glowing pillar of cloud hovering over the shed beside the house. "There's another one!" Carmen continued. "Back farther, a little to one side."
"They're angels!" Kiria announced breathlessly. "I can see their forms!"
Kiria saw them plainly -- outstretched wings, glowing legs....
