This is my friend Oscar. He recently became a member of my church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He went to his immigration appointment Monday February 2nd in Houston, Texas and never came out. He is being detained by ICE even though he has an active asylum case. His wife and daughter lost their main provider and now have to come up with thousands of dollars to defend his asylum case while paying for rent, food, etc.

Christ commanded that we must love one another, and in the past few months I have come to love my friend Oscar as I ministered to him. My heart broke when I received a note from his wife that he had been detained. I can't sleep at night knowing he is sleeping in a dark cold room all alone. Please pray for my friend, and his family as they go through this difficult time. If you have the means to help with this cause they will be eternally grateful. We pray soon his case can be heard and he can return to his family. Thank you so much and even though we don't understand all of God's plan we know He is with us.

Este es mi amigo Oscar. Hace poco se convirtió en miembro de mi iglesia, La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días. El lunes 2 de febrero asistió a su cita de inmigración en Houston, Texas, y nunca salió. Está detenido por ICE a pesar de tener un caso de asilo activo. Su esposa y su hija han perdido a su proveedor principal y ahora tienen que conseguir miles de dólares para defender su caso de asilo, mientras cubren gastos de renta, comida y cosas basicas.

Cristo mandó que debemos amarnos los unos a los otros, y en los últimos meses he llegado a querer mucho a mi amigo Oscar mientras lo ministraba. Se me rompió el corazón cuando recibí una nota de su esposa diciéndome que lo habían detenido. No puedo dormir por las noches sabiendo que él está durmiendo solo en una habitación fría y oscura. Por favor oren por mi amigo y su familia mientras pasan por este momento tan difícil. Si tienen los medios para ayudar con esta causa, ellos estarán eternamente agradecidos. Oremos para que pronto se escuche su caso y pueda regresar con su familia. Muchisimas gracias y aunque no entendemos todo del plan de Dios, sabemos que El esta con nosotros.
