It was back in court this week and this time it was for Palma. He hit the ground running upon his release. Being overwhelmed with the loss of his sister. It is cultural for the family to show video's of the funeral and so they did. It was to difficult for him and he ran to all the familar things. The gang. By the time he made it into counseling he felt like he had messed up so bad he needed to go back to jail and try again. He shared with me there is no peace with the gang, yet he goes there, making plans to kill. He is so far from where he was when he first walked out of camp last February. And now, as a result, he's back in jail. He called last Sunday to tell me that God had met him in his holding cell. He's back in the place where he could face some time for a new charge and his life is no longer "in his hands". So he cried out to God. It looks like the charge will carry a small amount of time, but now he is in the adult system. I spent the morning with his family, mostly divided about who is to blame for Palma's trouble, none seemingly given the credit to Palma himself. His mom is holding out for salvation, I pray it truely comes and Palma will surrender completely to Jesus.
