I’m listening to the song Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath on the radio driving through Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.  That song is so touching and really about what I want to accomplish in blogging about this trip.

This is my second trip down here, but before my first time, I had heard so many stories about Casa Hogar Elim.  Anyone that had a story would say. “…you can’t put it into
words, you have to go down there to experience it.” 

The best way I know how to communicate what an amazing experience it is and how blessed I feel by being around these children is to show photos and write a little bit about each one of them.

We are on our way to Laredo, TX to pick up a few pallets of food donated to CHE.  They have a storage facility there to accept and store donations.  It is quite a process to get the food across the border and to hopefully not get taxed on it.

I’m writing this as we are in a caravan of four vehicles going to Laredo.  JD just got
pulled over by the local police for speeding.  Anytime we see flashing lights down here, it’s a little scary.  (that didn’t stop me from taking a photo… will post as soon as I can download it from my camera)  Looks like it’s just a standard speeding ticket thing.  The police were not fans of all of us pulling over, so two vehicles left to cross the border.  Still waiting to hear from JD.
