Stories from the Stadium

The last week has been really good at the stadium with some cool things happening that are fun to share.

Suyapa, the gum seller, told me the other night that when she talks to her dad, she asks him to take care of Raquel and the other people in her group that bring the food. It took me a second to figure out that she meant when she was pryaing she asked God her father to take care of me. Wow. I was floored. She prays for me? Wow! The simple faith of people can be astounding.

One guy that we have been having some problems with in the past showed up last night. It had been a while since he had been around because one time he got so angry that he threw his food in Darwin´s direction and all over the truck. I was content that he hadn´t been around in a while causing problems, but he came back last night and apoligized to all of us individually. That is pretty awesome.

One guy who is always happy and always wearing clothes that are too big for him named Carlos and I were having a chat last night. He was interested in how long we were going to be here and I said we are going to be here for 2 years for sure and after that we have a big decision to make about what we will do after that. I said it´s hard because we have friends and family in the states that we really miss, but if we leave we will miss people here in Honduras too. I asked him what he thought and he said, well that decision is yours. But he sat and thought for a moment and then asked me, well, where do you have more friends? I laughed and said well, that is a good question but I dont know, and he replied, Honduras of course! Haha, that made me feel special that he hinted at wanted us to stay.

Please continue to pray for the people at the stadium. They are great people, battling addicio
