Bienvenido Jose Manuel!


According to the bible, on Pentecost tongues of fire descended upon the apostles while gathered together in an upper room. There they were blessed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In true symbolic fashion, this year on the eve of Pentecost, while most of us where gathered in the chapel in a Pentecost Vigil service, a new child arrived at the farm, Jose Manuel. Jose Manuel turned 10 on June 27, and is a bright eyed little boy. He has since moved into Casa Virgen de Guadalupe on the farm, also known as house 4, home of our boys from ages 9-12. I have had the pleasure of working with him in his Spanish and Math classes in school and must say he is a true genius of math and his great enthusiasm for learning is infectious. He and his great smile have found a new home at the finca, and we feel blessed to have him as well!
