orale! Was happening con with you my friends. I'm blessed. I just got back from spring break trip with four of the youth in my bible study.
I drove 20 hours straight with out any real rest. I took Jeffrey, Hugo, Alex and Omar to the state of Washington. The reasons for taking them there are several. One of the main ones was to drop off Hugo and Alex at Jubilee Christian Academy for boys. I was at Jubilee for 3 years and it was a time of development for my Christiand walk with God. My hope is that these boys will get somethin similar.
I also have family in Washington. Parents, bros and sis and long line of friends. Whom i love dearly.
We visited the migrant farmer community where i grew up. The boys got to see and meet several of the migrant families up there.
We took two days and went to Seattle. We went to the Zoo and walked around downtown and the piers. We had a blast.

I got to get closer to the guys i'm working with. And know them outside their environment. I notice something. Here in Pasadena they have this outside shell. Like a protection mechanism from all the harms the inner city has to offer. But, while up in Washington they were running free without a care. I was able to see them act like children. And that was a blessing for me. I hope in the future i'm able to take trips up north at leas annually.
The only downside of the trip was that from driving the 20 hours straight i pulled one of my inner muscles that is behing my lower leg. So, i'm in a little pain.
