Saturday, Jul 26th: Arrival at El Hogar

Dear Faith Partners,

This is Slocomb, just letting you know that we arrived safely at El Hogar (albeit four hours late) and that all the newbies are already falling in love. It took about five minutes on campus before kids showed to give us our “Welcome!” and “Welcome back!” hugs. And it still fascinates and humbles me that all these kids remember my name. Thankfully they keep a photo roster of the children in the volunteer house, so I can cheat and study their names before I see them again tomorrow!

A few photos of our trip here can be found below. Thank you for following along with our trip, and thank you to the faith partners for helping make this possible with your donations!

For Sunday, July 27th:  O God, whose fatherly care reaches to the uttermost parts of the earth:  We humbly beseech you graciously to behold and bless those whom we love, now absent from us.  Defend them from all dangers of soul and body; and grant that both they and we, drawing near to you, may be bound together by your love in the communion of your Holy Spirit, and in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
