Irony

It turns out that the cross that was placed infront of our entrance was not the best move. The is an old man who comes to talk with the men in the program named Marchena. He is well known and even meets with the Mayor once a week for prayer and studies. Last week when he came to the center to teach the men he recognized the cross. He made the cross for his son that died when he was 6 years old. He was not happy. He went to the mayor, then Jimmy(program director) met with the mayor and the Mayor sent 5 police officers that day to take out the cross. It was done illegally anyways. Just a whole bunch of craziness. This past week has been pretty slow and hard. We are waiting to get a saw mill that was sent to Limon. We have the money and the saw mill is their. We are just waiting on the tranportation to go get it. It will be a whole day trip to get it. We currently have 8 men in the program. I am hoping that Juan Carlos, the guy who recently graduated wants to come back and help out. He is enjoying being back home with his family in San Jose and wants to possibly stay in San Jose to be with his family. We shall see. Today at the beach it was a gorgeous day. We had our service, shared in communion, threw the football, surfed, swam, and fellowshipped.
