Uncle Ronald,

 I thank you so much because you, Suyapita, my teacher Ingrid, and Ligia are the ones that love and care for each and every one of us.   We thank you all so much with all our heart and soul. I always thank God for all that I have here at Jovenes en Camino. All of the boys here love each other very much. We give thanks to God because here at Jovenes they have us in good health, and we are well taken care of by people that truly love us. We give thanks to God that we are in a beautiful place. I thank God that he has me here so that I can be a leader upon leaving here, and I hope to be a good man when I leave here to be able to help my mother and my family tomorrow.

Thanks to all,

Merlin Noel Rodriguez

I admit that this letter fills me with much pride and joy.  There were so many emotions found that I don’t know how to describe them. I shared this letter with all of the employees to encourage them and to tell them that the work that each of us carries out has contributed to these kids feeling happy, safe, and protected by God’s hand. We are just instruments in God’s hands to bring blessings to these little ones.

On behalf of these 57 young men and employees that God has given us, I want to give thanks to each one of you for all the support that you have provided us during 2010. Without your prayers and monetary contributions we would not have been able to finish the year with success. Each one of you means a lot to us. Each one of you is in our daily thoughts and prayers. It’s beautiful to hear one of the little ones praying for you in our daily devotionals, pronouncing with difficulty your English names, but I’m sure that God knows what they are saying and that their prayer of blessing for you will come to you and your families. Pronouncing your English name is difficult for them. Their tongues get tangled, but God knows that they have you all on their minds.

I have always believed that the best weapon God has given us is prayer. To talk with God and to present our brothers and friends from afar before him so that he blesses them. We will never be able to repay you for all that you have done for these kids. A smile given with love has made our kids the happiest in Honduras. Thank you for giving them a smile and for showing them that they are loved.

With your generosity, you all are storing up treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (MT 6:19-21).

Your servant in Him,

Ronald Millon
