AMAZING NEWS
Posted by Admin on November 6th, 2009 filed in Uncategorized
I recieved notification on my cell phone of a post to the website from an email address that I had never heard of before. I started to read the message, realizing that it was in Spanish. After a quick translation, the message was from Sandra Karina, one of the girls from Casa de Hogar, the orphanage that we visited several times in Nogales, MX. Sandra wrote to let us know that she has been re-united with her mother, and is now living with her family again! What great news!!
Although I was so greatful to hear her story, I was immediately moved and humbled by this amazing little girl. How many 11 year olds do you know that after leaving an orphanage and being re-united with their families would take the time to track down our website, and write a note saying how much they appreciated our visits, and miss us all? Although today’s world seems so dominated with bad news, this one little girl certainly forced me to take a step back, give thanks for everything and everyone that I have in my life, and quite simply smile! Sandra, you are truly an amazing young lady! We wish you continued success and are so greatful that you’ve been able to re-unite with your mother. Please know that you will always be part of the CrossFit Neptune family, and are truly an inspiration to all of us.
Nosotros te amamos!

That’s the best news. However, I hope her story is not unique and becomes a regular occurrence in the lives of the other girls. I’ll never forget the time we spent with them, the future CrossFit Neptune of Nogales.
