Hello! It has sure been a more than a few days since i've written. I just got back from Washington this past Thursday. I took a group of four young men to Jubilee Youth Ranch. A private christian school in the state. As i drove back by myself. I had a lot of time to think about a lot of things. I had 18 hours to myself. One of the things that i was thinking about the most was my change as a Christian. Thinking if Rob Neu or Rick Terrazas or Chris Neu would be proud of me for doing what i'm doing. Rob was the person that introduced me to Christ back in 1995 in the Vista Hermosa Chapel. I remember Brother Rick asking me if i knew where i was going if i died that day. I remember my knees shaking when i answerd i did. Just a punk kid coming out of a screwed up life. Not knowing where i was headed. Until somebody took an interest in me. I wish i could see Rob and the rest of the guys that were there that first year. They need to know they are appreciated by many.

I'm in my room right know at home. And i can hear some guys digging through the garbage dump behing my building. Living in the city is a trip. People find ways to survive. I think is funny everytime i visit somebody and they tell me they recycle their cans and bottles. Around my neiborhood i just leave my cans and bottles on the street. I know someone i'll pick they up. Thats how somepeople survive around here. Making jobs for people.

On a more lighter note. As some of you may know i play on a softball team. We had a double header yesterday. We won both games. I batted a grandslam during the second game. My second one for the season, very exciting and fun. So, next Sunday we play the final for 1st place. Game starts at 3:30pm @ Sol Del Valle Comm. Church in Sun Valley. see u there if you can make it. I got directions.

P.S. School started for me. I'm not to happy. I don't have the classes I need. I'm going to see my counselor tomorrow. I hope he can do something about that.
