I have dreamt of being back here since last year. It is a place where I am challenged and grow. My heart soars to see these people who have something that I long to have. PURE joy amidst nothing. The people of La Chureca live in a Trash Dump. Literally, the trucks come in, one after another, and dump the nastiest garbage in their midst and they filter through it to find thing to sell. Even at home, it is hard for me to face my dumpster because of the smell that reaks from it. What about a place where it all gathers and then finding people that practically swim in it. They have no shame in what they do, they work hard and provide for their families. Many of them suffer from illnesses because of the conditions they live in. You see babies and children walking around aimlessly in garbage that has everything from hopital needles to animal carcasses to the leftover foods a restaurant throws out. I wish I could only describe in words what this place is like, but my strength is not in my words. The community of La Chureca has light protruding out of the Darkness. The people are absolutely beautiful, kind and loving. I am in awe of the people who are with Braddigan and Love, light and Melody who have built relationships with each one of them. Young people who have moved into the dump to Love these people and serve them with everything inside. visit: http://www.braddigan.com/llm

I will post many images soon. It has been confusing lately to where i’m waking up. I am not sure where I am anymore most morning, or what day it is. Please continue to keep me in prayer and those in La Chureca.
