He helped them to transform their lives and to encourage the spirituality, especially in her, that was trying to emerge. That was very powerful to witness. Neither of them spoke much English, so I was more a witness than anything else. Jorge has been here for 5 years. Neighbors know they can come tell him problems.
People like to come complain about their problems with someone else.
The attitude of many people is that you complain that life is so bad and so terrible because the city doesn't give you services and so forth. When I came here, I saw a lot of that. For me, there was a very heavy feeling at the neighborhood meetings. People would talk about things and there would be a whole lot of negativity. That is the biggest transformation that I have seen here.
