The People

Jonathan is 5 years old and has more street smarts than most 10 year olds. He had been abandoned by one of the many Illegal Aliens traveling from Honduras or El Salvador on their way to the US. We have no way of knowing where he is from or what he has experienced but we do know that God chose to send him to us and we are overjoyed that the Lord would send him to us. Please pray for Jonathan, he has had a very hard 5 years of life. From: http://lostandfoundint.net/blog/

This shows a picture of the migrants that are trying to make their way to the US on the train right in front of Tammy & Bills. It is so sad...the trains are absolutely jammed on the roof with people, as well as on every ladder and between every car. It is so dangerous.
Christobal, the lead staff at the ranch where our team was developing a Master Plan for El Faro De Esparanza, helps Patrick by carrying survey instrument 1 km across the property at the end of the day. Cristobal and his crew of Miguel, Manuel, Luis (jr), and Luis (sr), provided amazing friendship and support to our team as we worked on the ground by cutting survey line with machete (bargachar!), digging soil and perc test holes, and carrying water for perc tests. They also provided Spanish lessons and much grace for us as we tried to convey our needs and they successfully obliged.
