Prision Visit

Greetings. In Jesus Name,

As many of you know, yesterday was my first day back able to visit prison.
It was a truly blessed day for many reasons!
First, at about 8am we got a call from our new friend,the resort owner, donating more great comforters, these from another of his properties in Baja Sur. He explained that when he got the photos of us giving the first donations away and read the report describing the prisoners reactions to his gift,he was deeply touched and moved to do more. Praise YWVH! He also invited us to have lunch with he and another partner next week.
So, one big huge reason for my excitement was going inside with these greatly needed gifts,even though it takes an eztra chunkof tme as they must be inspected for contraband.
Before. I go on, I am not sure who knows about the little boy who fell from the cuarteria wall (same wall Angelica fell from last year) ,and suffered a severe head injury, causing mother to be sent to prison about. 2 weeks past. The hospital called us @ 4am to inform us that little Jorge ,age 3-4, went Home at 2am this morning. The 1st day since the tragic accident.,that I was to be able to see his mother since before tis accident.
Frank had been able to speak with the prison social worker last week to explain the case of the mother (SHE ,Senaida Jimenez,is a border widow, and the arresting officers left her other 3 children ALONE upon her arrest) . The social worker was amiable ….but now the child has died. We found she is likely.now to face homicide by neglect.
So,Jesus, why am I still excited to go see her avd inform her?
Well as the merciful. God we serve would have it,on the way to prison,we had to pick up some test results,  and who should we sit next to while waiting but our neighbor,who a decade ago was just an investigations superviser, but 4 years ago was appointed as a judge! We had time to talk AND. he has promised to get Senaida’s case moved to his tribunal !
And so we went.
First Frank and I.were. searched and separated. as per norm.
I walked the guantlet and felt led to deal with Senaida first, not knowing. how lomg she might.need a shoulder.
I borrowed Johana”s cell to inform Senaida  privately. It was hard for her,itold her first her left behind children are with Juanita or I or at the mission all day and are doing as well as could be considering ….the?n I informed her of Jorge , she was as aare most non Christian indigenous are STOIC. I explained how l hsve seen cbildren literally  borne up by angels and what an amazingly,beautiful expertence it is. Nope. She just stood head erect.
Due to the time I have I had to move on. So with 6 ft  tall Johanna  in tow  I headed for my bucket pulpit.
I taught on grace and gratitude, as the anointing fell, I  began to notice about half the people  gathered around listening start to glow, not like a lighstick you buy at a ballgame, it’s hard to find the right words,but more  like a white, sparkling fog and it only lasted for as long as it took Holy Spirit to tell me that of all who have professed Jesus  since my time inside this time, the ones that glowed  had  actually met Jesus.  Although He said he dwelt in all their  hearts.  How long it lasted I can’t say because for me YWVH  runs on different time or stops.  It was long enough for Him to tell me to wrap it up and to go round and individually  love, befriend and pray for the non glowing.  So I  did it.
I was speaking to an elderly woman who admitted that she had only accepted Jesus  to see if I would give  her something, when  Johanna said that the guard was there for me. As she said that, I heard a blood-curdling screaming from the back cells. My first thought was, OH DEAR GOD PLEASE DON’T Make me deliver another  baby  here  in the bathroom.
By now the guard was  waiting  but he let me  check it out.
IT WAS SENAIDA, WEEPING AND NOW SHE SAID, I DO, I DO WANT TO KNOW YOUR GOD. AND SO I led her to Yeshua.  Then I really had to go.
The guard took me to Frank and Rogelio and we got to give out more blankets!
I noticed the guys who had gotten thm  last  time had them either neatly rolled up  or made into sleeping pallets…
LOTS of weeping.  Frank water baptized  2 guys,  partially wetting  2 burn victim’s  from the recent fire  and we had to go.  Rogelio sends  his love.
Paloma has been transferred.
Have a great Fathers day.
Love to you all
Detra

Hey y’all,

I am continually amazed at the Lords Love for His own.
AFTER going to Frank’s  Dr. appointment we got a phone call from  Lisa(one of our old dishwashers who’s husband went to prison for 4 years about  4 years ago). Her son age 17 works for a huge resort here in town. SHE said that the resort owner wanted to see us,sent a message thru her son.We have NO idea why but okay we set up to meet before prison yesterday.
We met with him at the big restaurant in his 190 room resort. He said he heard about us thru Lisa’s son and wonders if we can use 90 king sized comforters and some beds be cause he refurbishes each year.
Well you know how much we’ve needed blankets! Praise Jesus, we took possession of these  heavy clean good smelling things of worth. We will get back with him on beds next week.
From there we head to prison.  Im wondering how we can keep blankets from being stolen. Frank went in to speak with the social worker & is back in 10 minutes……a miracle in itself….. and says they will allow us to take in some blankets and they’ll post a guard to guard the rest.
So after a lengthey search of said blankets  and us,Rogelio meets us  with  2 guys with wheelbarrows and we start carting them into the inner sanctum. Frank took 35 to the men and I took  30 to my ladies!
You should have seen the looks on their faces when I handed these huge like new comfortors out…….every woman who has had to sleep on cold concrete immediately rolled up like caterpillars ……gleeful thankful caterpillars. Most cried. Whom am I Lord to bring such a thing? I wept and stood on my bucket and talked about angels. Even congyugal visits stopped because as I was talking  I began to see these angels around different women. I told those being visited what I was seeing. They we’re standing BEHIND some women and removing shackles from their feet.  One lady who hurled lit cigarette butts at me last week rushed forward and hugged me.and I mean rushed as in ran at me. The space where she had  been was occupied by a ugly moldy looking rope. As others came forward I saw each had left these ropes and suddenly knew I was to tell them that temptation was coming to pick the things the bondage back up and that the angels had come to loose them but it was their responds-a-bility to stay away from the bondage. I told them they needed Jesus Power to do so. 41 people accepted Christ as King..Including one very surly guard. Each time one did the ropes whooshed down straight into the floor! (I don’t know how you handle seeing this stuff because it is bizarre. )
As I  started to the kitchen to eat some dubious looking food…I heard a lady yelling ‘Hey what about me…what about me?
Snap I’d  forgotten the cells & had little time left but I rushed back in that dark hole.Johana whose helped get me around before went with.
A lady I had never seen was cowering in a corner by her latrine hole. She was obviously very very pregnant. “Please please get the ropes off of me before I have the baby. She was begging and squatting holding her legs together. She was giving birth! Like right then. Johana ran  to get the guard to get help. The guard comes back and assesses this bizarre turn of events. I said,please let me in with her because I  knew I had to be. The guard said. Im sorry. I can’t she’s  here because she’s crazy,violently crazy.  Then she just changed her mind and opened the gate..
I went in with the guard and we literally made it to her as the baby just slipped on out into my hands. Somebody threw me a clan shirt to wrap the squalling baby girl into.So I did moving with the lady back to her bunk because they we’re still attached. I laid the baby on her chest and it latched on.The mama Guadalupe, asked me to pray for them. I did.She eagerly received and I went for it and dedicated  baby Veronica while I had the chance.
The mom wept and wept until the social worker and another guard arrived with a wheelchair and they we’re taken away.
I had to go, too. As I made my way through the women’s cell  area, ladies whose faces I couldn’t see reached out through the bars & touched me.
The newly saved guard turned a blind eye to this unacceptable  thing. I was also  30 minutes late. But the guard was cool. She asked me to please bring her a Bible.
I got to wave at Rogelio.
Frank was worried and even more so when he saw blood all over me!
Ill have to go segundaing for a new jail skirt,but I hated that sack anyway.
Frank has things to share too.  Im letting him write it tho as it is his story and long.
Love
BUTTER BEAN Soaring YET TIRED.
