Religious family fleeing US by sailboat goes adrift, winds up in Chile

:salam2:

Hannah Gastonguay, 26, said Saturday that she and her husband “decided to take a leap of faith and see where God led us”. What you think after reading this article? Is she/they trying to get some fame or misleaded by so called ‘Shaitan’? :hmmm:


PHOENIX – A northern Arizona family that was lost at sea for weeks in an ill-fated attempt to leave the U.S. over what they consider government interference in religion will fly back home Sunday.

Hannah Gastonguay, 26, said Saturday that she and her husband “decided to take a leap of faith and see where God led us” when they took their two small children and her father-in-law and set sail from San Diego for the tiny island nation of Kiribati in May.

But just weeks into their journey, the Gastonguays hit a series of storms that damaged their small boat, leaving them adrift for weeks, unable to make progress. They were eventually picked up by a Venezuelan fishing vessel, transferred to a Japanese cargo ship and taken to Chile where they are resting in a hotel in the port city of San Antonio.

I guess they wanted to end up in Kiribati. God led them to Chile. They didn't like the destination, and will? return. Maybe next time they'll be content with where circumstances lead them. Ironic...

I have a feeling they will try to get to Kiribati again ... or perhaps somewhere else if they feel the storm was sign from God.

But I can't see them staying put ...

Maybe they try flying next time...

could be transporting drugs but changed their story when dung hit the fan.

If they wanted to leave US then there are way too many easier ways to do so.
