The young guy who's been struggling was packing his clothes up today to leave tomorrow. I was pretty sure that was it. It was a sad day for sure. I explained to a couple of guys what was happening and they took it hard too. We're really become a family here in the past year or so, and it's tough to see one of our own leave when it's obviously not time yet.
I called Maribel in the afternoon to let her know what was happening (she's on vacation this week). She had planned to come over tomorrow to see him, but then decided to come here tonight instead. She didn't want to chance missing him. This guy doesn't get home from classes until 11 PM so that's when she came. It surprised him to see her. =) They talked for a long time and had a good conversation it seems. He openned up a little bit. I'm still not sure what's going to happen, but I think the door is open again a little bit for this guy to stay. Honestly...I'm not sure. He said he'd make a decision tomorrow.
Please pray hard. I've really seen God at work this week in the house...I can't even begin to tell you. So many people are praying (literally around the world) and we've felt that a lot. I've just been asking for peace no matter what happens. To be able to trust that this is not just in my hands and that God knows what He's doing. Trust me though...it's been difficult.
Thanks for being so faithful in your prayers for us. For those of you who've taken the time to write and encourage us (me) that's been amazing too.
I'll let you know what happens in the end, but for sure we've already seen God's faithfulness through all of this. Thanks again everyone!

Ken,
I along with quite a few of us at SCS have been praying long and hard for you and your guys. Especially for the strength and guidance in every situation you come across.
God is with you.
Continuing to pray...
May God's hand take hold of this spiritual warfare. He will hear us.
