One day I was sitting in the rocking chair outside talking to some of the boys and enjoying the beautiful weather when Lisa handed me her cell phone and said someone wanted to talk to me. I had heard her talking in spanish to this person just moments before and I wondered who it was. “Hola.” I said, praying my spanish wouldn’t fail me now. The answer on the other line was that of a young man. He was calling to apologize to me for stealing my things. He was sorry and asked me to forgive him. I couldn’t believe it, my things had gotten stolen about a month and a half ago. The conversation almost brought tears to my eyes and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I said of course I forgave him and went on to ask how he was doing. I admire the young man and his boldness and courage to step out of his comfort zone. I knew he was ashamed of what he had done yet he didn’t let that stop him from doing what was right.
