So my uncle went to africa for the peace coprse like 3 years ago. Since he went, he has been using all of the money in his account and then beggin for more. In the last 3 months. He hasnt touched his money, answered any calls, written any letters, or called. My g-pa called the American Embassy and asked what happend (if anything) and they called someon in Africa. They called back on Wednesday and said "he went up river in April, and hasnt yet returned. Then today they called back and said " If we happen to find him, would you like his body shipped home?"
The first thing to cross my mind was OMFG my uncle is dead. . . people tell me to think positve, but what is there to think positive about? ![]() |

You dont need to think about positive things, the best thing is to think about it or pray about it. People are only trying to make you feel better, but in reality you should talk about it to someone. Dont listen to people that tell you to talk about positvie things.

I know that this is probably really hard, but you can't just lie to yourself and just think of positive reasons for why he's not back.
He could be gone, but I mean everyone has to "leave" at one point or another. Be brave. Hope everything goes well. |

looks like thinking bout the bad side of it is making you feel sad, try thinking postively. i'm not saying to lie to yourself but there's still a chance that your uncle is alive

Aw, what they told you wasn't a nice thing to say.
But just pray. Give hope. Don't think too much of it, just try to be happy. ![]() |

The American Embassy should change the tone to be a bit more positive. Not like "If we happen to find him, would you like his body shipped home?"
He would be okay. Good people should be rewarded. |

That's a long time .. just wait for a few months. If he does not come back, call the search team to find him. He should know better to make some contact w/ your family. If he did, ask your family members.

If you are religious, I think you should pray for his safety back home. Heck, pray even if you're not religious. God will help you.
I hope your uncle comes home safely. =) |

" If we happen to find him, would you like his body shipped home?"
That was horrible. They can't be certain he's dead. There's a good chance he's alive. Pray and think positive. Thinking negatively will only make things worse. ![]() |

there's always a chance that he's alive. but, you never know, maybe he ran away from the peace corps.

Good luck with that. Have a nice day and remember, it could be worse.... you could be a a siamese twin, one is gay and you have one butt... he's having a date over, and its a sleepover. God bless.
