Coffee with Jonas

Today I saw our friends Lindsey and Caleb for the first time in three months.

When they left for the US at the beginning of November, Lindsey was about 8 months pregnant...and today I had the honor of having coffee with baby Jonas in my lap.

They left for the US under difficult circumstances. For the past 6 months Caleb's dad was in critical conditional and had half of Santiago and the US praying for him. God answered...just not how everyone had hoped. It's easy to say that he's in a better place now and that he's not suffering anymore, but that doesn't answer the question of why or stop the hurt. No words can be said and any attempt at trying to comfort would be futile.

Caleb lost his father and became one from one day to the next. It's funny. We were all praying for life, for a miracle. The miracle was just manifested in a different way I guess. Today I held him.

It's good to have our friends home...all three of them.
