Bombing

This morning, which is night in the Philippines, Bob and his other housemates were startled by a loud boom. It turns out that terrorists placed a bomb in a ballot box in an official building in a town nearby. From what Bob knows, nobody was hurt and they are not in any real danger. He also said that small bombings like this and kidnappings for ransom are normal occurrences in the area. But it is obviously a little scary and it is hard to know if or when they could become more bold in their attempts. Please just keep Bob and all of our troops across the globe in your thoughts and prayers.
