This morning Jen and I woke up at 4:40 to go get the brothers and take them to breakfast before school. They were beyond excited to see us at their house that morning. Waking up was a killer but seeing their faces and knowing they were going another day not hungry made it more than worth it!
Once we got them to school poor little Antonio realized in all the excitement this morning he forgot his back pack. He was sobbing! So we spent a few minutes comforting him until we realized, he was this upset because he had the left over pizza in it that was supposed to be his lunch. It broke my heart to see such a little boy have to worry about when and where his next meal would come from. Thankfully we had some breakfast leftovers in the truck with us and he was able to take that and off he went!
After we got back Jen and I snuck in about 20-30 minute naps and we were off again! We took Jenn Hines to the airport for her to head back to the states for 2 weeks. After lots of running around and long talks about the brothers we went and bought them some rice, beans and eggs along with a a big thing of fried chicken and fries for dinner tonight and took it over and got to hang out with them a bit. You would think after getting up so early for them this morning we would be bound for bed but chasing those cute brown faces around for a bit was way better! Its funny the way God will guide you and give you strength in the most simple form when you are serving and loving for Him. And now we are home and ready to hit the sack! Please keep those precious boys in your prayers!
