Kayak, I finally made it here! Not going to lie and say I read each and every post, but I've scanned each page. As to Elizabeth, I so hope this could be the beginning of the end and she will be returned home soon. I think we are missing a big piece of information as her family seems so positive she is still alive. Maybe that's their faith, but I like to think they have some basis in fact for their hope.

Yes, I know what you mean about the Smarts ...... while it's wonderful that their faith is helping them, I have concerns that they are not facing reality ..... and that is not a criticism of them. If I were in their shoes, I would be clinging to every tiny little shred of hope I could find.
