Wow!!

I cannot believe how fast this week has gone!! Tonight is the team's last night in La Masica!! Tomorrow morning they will be packing things up and heading out to San Pedro Sula where they will stay in a motel, and Saturday morning bright and early, head to the airport. They will begin the journey home about 7am and will arrive in Pasco at about 7:30pm.

This has been a remarkable trip for these kids. They say that in the seeds of adversity lay the seeds of a greater benefit. Well, the adversity they encountered with the road block and the long hard detour evidently galvanized their resolve, and they have experienced some remarkable things. I'm not going to steal their thunder but suffice it to say lives have been changed. There will be stories to tell for weeks to come and you as parents and friends can help these young adults re enter our world. The best thing you can do is to listen....really listen to the stories and engage them. Until you have experienced something like they have experienced you cannot fully understand how difficult it is to re enter our society...be patient with them...they may sound like they are rambling, but they need to express what they have seen and experienced.

If you have not been on one of these trips perhaps you should consider it. The next adult trip will be in January or early February. Think about it!!

I'll post more updates as I learn of their progress toward San Pedro Sula.

Bendiciones!
