I let two weeks slip by without blogging, jamming it all into a short read will be tough but here goes.
The week before last was all about taking kids to the doctor for, stitches, rotten feet, aids tests, sonograms, busted up eye. (Neida, a 14 year old lost her baby, she was just a few months pregnant.) everyday I showed up there was a new injury or sickness to deal with. I did what I could to clean up the cuts I could with my first aid supplies and skills, but most kids needed professionals. Taking kids to the doctor is a good time to spend one on one and share the love God has put in my heart. >Thanks to Rehanna and Barbara for working with the girls this past week, I know you had to do some not so easy stuff.
This last week I took Ramiro,(a 16 year old street boy) to Santa Cruz (10 hrs by bus) to put him in the rehab home with YWAM. I spent the first week with him in the transition home, where he could adjust to life off the street with no drugs. There we just did life together, but focused on his new life and prayer for strength to leave the old behind. Ramiro did awesome, he already looked tons better just after one week of fattening up. He went into the boys home on friday with a big smile on his face and anxious to join their soccer team. We are trusting in God to transform his life.
Last saturday we held a celebration for all the street kids we work with, more than 25 showed up. we held it at a really nice facility, we had a pastor speak, then tried to play games, then had some cake and stuff. The whole thing lasted about an hour, but took hours to clean up. It was good and crazy all at the same time. Dont get me wrong, i love these kids, but i dont think we´ll be doing that again anytime soon. Thanks to everyone who helped, it would have been insaner without you all.
This is already getting long, i hope to write again soon.

Dude, so glad to hear some positive news with Ramiro! And you sound like you’re better too. Seemed like things were a little down there for a bit. Glad to hear that your’re back and all too. I always try to discover deeper the meaning and understanding of “the joy of the Lord is our strength”. Awesome to hear from you. We pray for you daily. We love you Skip!!
Great news Skip, thanks.
