Well tonight we said goodbye. The kids here at Casa Hogar put on a small but powerful dance. It was a person who started off knowing God but then strayed by using drugs and alcohol then escalated by then doing self mutilation by cutting herself and almost shooting herself but then looked to her right side and saw that God was still there waiting for her to come back. It was very powerful and brought out emotions in everyone. After the dance two of the kids stood up and gave testimonies of their own lives and it was just one more thing to add to the emotional part of tonight. Then some of our own adult leaders stood up and gave words of praise to the kids and to our youth for a magical week. Then Fernando, the leader of Casa Hogar, asked all of our kids to stand up and get on stage then all the kids came and circled around us and then Fernando prayed for us and our well being. Then all of us said goodbye and, wow, what amazing emotions came out when everyone started crying and hugging. It was amazing. Words cannot describe the emotions, the feelings or the love that was passing between their kids and our kids. Goodbye Casa Hogar we will always love you.
We will leave at 8 in the morning and no later, pray for safe travel
P.S. There has been or will be mass flooding and all the residents have been evacuated to safety zones and Casa Hogar is one of those places. Residents have been coming to the school since around 6 this evening. Don't worry, the roads will hopefully be open for travel back to Monterrey. They tell us that road is rarely closed.
P.P.S. Also...please no rain dances.
Jim
