Week 43 - Saving lives

This was a short week as we had a holiday on Tuesday. This national holiday is to celebrate the Revolution of 1944 where the modern Democratic era of Guatemalan begun. Due to this holiday we didn't have the business meeting. However, during this week I had the chance to spend a good time with my friends from the kids' home. During my time there I had the chance to talk with Tamara, the orphanage director, who was visiting from the US, about Marcos. Both of us also talked with Marcos and he opened his heart to us, in tears, about how he felt about what is going in his life and hurts from his past. He is in difficult age and hurt from his past sometimes holds him from pursuing those dreams he has for the future. We talk with Tamara about how to support him, which literally means saving his life from acting out of the hurt from his past and destroying his life or letting those dreams and plans God has for him flourish. This will require effort from his part and ours but we are willing to support him. Please keep Marcos in your prayers.  I believe every time poured into the lives of all these kids is an investment that with God help will save their lives from destruction.
