Rene on the BART in San Francisco, with the "poor man" and Ericson, Yordy, Jonny, Eliezer, Raffy and Franny

Hello, my name is Rene.

Today is a happy day for me because I have God in my heart and I am happy about that. Every morning I wake up and say “thank you God for one more day of life.” I always like to be happy because I know I have God in my life.

I like to travel in trains, I don’t know why, but I like it. I don’t like to travel in airplanes.

One day something very funny happened to me. We were at a train station and I was bored, and so I said “I am going to make my friends want to dance for a while.” So my friends and I agreed to dance.  We started to dance and I passed a hat around so that the people in the train station would give us money. Do you know how much they gave us? $1!!!

We were starting to get very tired when Jed and Elizabeth arrived. We all got on the train to leave San Francisco. The doors closed and we started to leave when saw that a friend of mine, Beycker, was still on the train station platform. He had stayed in the bathroom when the train departed.

When Liz saw him, she started yelling to Beycker. But he just stood there looking at us and started to laugh. I said “how dumb. He should have started running!” But then when I sat down, I couldn’t stop laughing.

On another day, we rode the train through San Francisco, and a very poor man, whose breath smelled of alcohol and who smelled bad in general, said “hello.” I responded to the man with “hello.” He asked, “Do you have Marijuana?” I told him I didn’t have any. He said, “okay.”

Then he took a cheap cell phone from his pocket and asked “Do you want it?” I said “ok.” Then he pulled an i-phone 4 out and I said, “wow, how is possible that he has something like that?” He also had a LOT of money in his pockets. I said “the USA is strange. In Nicaragua if you have a cell phone you have money.” That is something like about the US.

One day I was very angry with Mrs. Elizabeth. A pastor saw my attitude and said “son, come here and let’s talk a little.” He said “You know in life the people that love you a lot, they worry about you, because they love you. The people that don’t love you, don’t say anything to you.” And that’s true. “If you try to block that love, you are going to suffer in life.” And in that moment I went to say sorry to Liz. I started to think, “she only wants good stuff for us and she looks at us like we are her sons. She loves us and sometimes we don’t see that. She wants a good path for us, even though sometimes she gets furious with us. It’s good that all mothers are like that.”

Thanks to God that I have a second mother, and she is very precious and nice, and she is like an angel sent from the sky. I love her family as well, even though they’re a little crazy. I like that.

Thanks to God for putting us in their path, it’s a blessing from God.
