Buying our truck yesterday meant we were able to visit the boys' home today! Jovenes en Camino is surrounded by beautiful mountains, about 30 miles outside of the capitol city, and is a haven for boys who have been orphaned or abandoned. The guard at the gate did a good job of keeping strangers out, but we were finally able to enter after a call from the Director.
The boys welcomed us warmly (in other words, climbed all over us!), and the staff were so hospitable. After dedicating our first few months to language school, we hope to spend a couple days a week working with the boys at JEC. If today's sweet introductions were signs of what's to come, we will surely be blessed at this place.
