May 26, 2015 12:00 AM

Due to the civil war spreading to the capital city, Nahas and his family were forced to flee their home this same night, leaving behind all possessions. Nahas then carried his pregnant wife Saran into the mountains as gunfire trailed behind them ripping holes through the banana leaves. At this moment Nahas could hardly expect that seeking refuge for his family would eventually take them to Salt Lake City.
