Headed to Texas.....

[DianaB]

Glen and I are headed to Dallas on Wednesday. We have a friend from Guatamala, Hugo, who is just the nicest man but he's gotten in trouble with imigration. He had a green card years ago but he lost it when he went back to visit his Dad who was dying. While he was there he was attacked and spent a lot of time in the hospital (he was attacked with a machete across his face and over his body). I guess that you can only leave for two weeks and he was gone more because of his injuries. He's afraid to go back because people who have been in America are usually killed and since they've already tried once he's really afraid of what will happen. Anyway, he goes to court on Thursday morning and several of us that know him are going to go down to support him. Things don't look very promising for him which is sad. He is a Christian and always has the greatest smile and is so friendly!! I hope that things work out for the best for him. We would appreciate any prayers for Hugo!! Thanks!!!!

I'm sorry your friend is going through this. Hopefully things will go in his favor with all of his supporters and prayers being said.

Oh dear Diana! You are such good people to be so kind and supportive. I only hope that I have at least one friend who is as kind and supportive to me (should I need it) as you and Glen. I hope everything goes well for your friend! My housekeeper is from Guatemala, and she still has family there. She goes there occasionally to visit. In fact, she just borrowed $500 from us to make the trip. It is scary what can happen!

It is scary. I so hope that Hugo can stay here legally. He's such a great help to Feyn with his cattle and goats. That's what he did in Guatamala.

We're not the only ones that are going down. Feyn and Tammy and Tammy's parents are going as well as Hugo and his girlfriend, Sandy.........eight of us in all. We're leaving early in the morning because Hugo has an appointment with a lawyer in a different town south of Dallas.....so we'll be on the road for quite awhile tomorrow.

I wish that you could meet Hugo.....he just has the most wonderful smile and he smiles a lot!!! He's just a dear man!!

I will certainly be praying for your friend. He sounds like a very nice man! I hope he gets to stay here in the states. Will be praying for you all to have a safe trip.

My younger brother adopted a little girl from Quatemala. She is now 9 yrs old and just as sweet as she can be. She was almost 2 when they got her. Her name is Allison.

Well, we're just about ready to leave. Keep Hugo in your prayers. We'll be home tomorrow night.
