Thursday-
Early start today. We are hosting two groups of students from the school dump today at a local sports complex. Each group will have about 40 kids - Wow! I love how God works. Just when I am feeling so far removed from home and my family, He plans a day that resembles at leave a small part of home. I miss coming home from work and hearing the madness of baseball or hockey in our basement.
I am praying that the kids see what can be through God. I am praying their time removed from the darkness of the dump will help heal them of the bondage that La Chureca causes.
I believe today will be very hard (like the others have been easy?!?) The same children who sleep on garbage, breathe contaminated air, sniff glue, pick through garbage for food and play in puddles of chemicals, will be playing some games with me that I play at home with my children. We are all God's children.

Thank you for taking the time away from yours family and serving our children during this time. Their lives will be changed forever from this experience and it could not of happened without folks like you and the other leaders who are willing to make these sacrifices. love ya
