The Sisters later Released an Official Text Statement:

Peace and good!

We want through this statement to express our gratitude for the seven years of mission in the lands of Nicaragua, we appreciate the welcome of the Church and the People during that time that our charism remained in the country serving the poor in their multiple faces. As our Sources cite, "Before offering you anything else, we offer you ourselves first: we offer Christ in us."

With this we want to thank all the consecrated women, lay people, young people, benefactors and friends who built the mission with us making it possible to bring Christ to the poor, with these sentiments we inform that our sisters are already safe in El Salvador.

God bless you all.
