Boise

Boise went great! Virginia was amazing!
We went to the park and had lunch and waited on the Hays Shelter group to meet us there. The kids and staff (myself not included because I had to watch V) played softball and it looked like they had a great time. After that we went to Hays where they showed us around the facility and made us dinner. Hays is beautiful! It is a new building that has a very modern look. It is on the website if anyone is interested in looking at it. They cooked us an amazing meal of hotdogs, hamburgers, brats, mac & cheese, fruit salad, potato salad, brownies and much more. It was nice to meet the staff their as well. Hays is a short term facility for kids in crisis. The crisis could be that they are run aways's, been abused, been in trouble with the courts or any number of reasons. Because of this they are very very strict, but it is good.
I drove one of the vans back with V and two girls. It was a great ride. I got to hear their life stories and ask them questions and they got to ask me questions. I am thankful that I had that opportunity to get to know them. I was afraid I just wouldn't be able to get to know the girls for some time since the boys take up so much of my time.
Today is church day which is bitter sweet. I miss my Mystery family but am excited to add to it with the church family here. I was sad to hear that ususally only 2 boys go to church. Hopefully that will change.
