After the team finished serving the kids and cleaned all of the dishes we served them lunch.  Then we all went to Los Pinos to visit two homes.  First we went to visit Marlin's home.  It was one room with two beds and a kitchen area.  We prayed over the family and gave them a gift basket of food which brought Marlin to tears of gratitude.

We took a bus to safely get as close as possible


Kenia and Vanessa's house

I finally got to visit Marlin's home!


Then we went to visit Ubence, Christian, Lesli and Cindi's home where they live with their "Grandmother".  They are not related to their Grandmother by blood, but she took in the four children and their mother and gave them a place to live when they were homeless.  She helped their mother conquer addiction and hold a steady job.  We are so grateful for Grandma!
