No Reyna...No Wilber

Well, we did find someone to go with us today, our good friend Laly. She too said it is very dangerous but that she would go anyways so we took a taxi. That part was pretty amazing in itself because I had to remember how to find their house and tell them how. I cannot believe I remembered how to get there but I did. I never felt in danger any of the previous times of going to that area but today I did..a little. There were many guys hanging out in the alley and very loud music and people looking at us...it just didn't feel good today. We asked a lady in the alley if Reyna and Wilber lived here and she said they do not live there anymore but the mother-in-law does and they still visit her. So...we knocked on the door and the mother-in-law answered. She is the same lady who has lied to me two times before about not knwoing who I was asking for or not knowing where they were. She told us that Wilber is doing well and is working in the market but does not live there anymore. She said she has not seen Reyna in one year which would say that when we asked last year, she wasnot telling the truth. She said she thinks she is in a Boarding School which of course costs money which they do not have. Basically we left her with my cell phone number and Laly's as well and I also gave her two photos. One was of Wilber and his mom with me from last year and the other was of Rena and me from 3 years ago. We told her that I have gifts for Wilber and to please have him call me but we did not get a call today and to be honest, I do not expect to get one.
I feel heartbroken in one way but I think I also kinda expected tis as well. All I can hope is that with all of the prayers for this sweet girl and for me to return and look for her year after year, that someone maybe her brother will tell het I have been coming and God will bring someone to help her situation. I feel frustrated because I feel like we have waisted two days waiting to go find them and now we are in the same spot...nowhere. I think Shawn and I will both feel better when we are in Xela at the orphanage.

  1. I am so sorry! I wish there was more I could do. This is horrible! I will continue to pray for you and Shawn, and for Wilber and Reyna as well. Please be safe! Tomorrow is a new day. "
