ROGELIO

Rogelio's mother Carla with his little brothers and sister. We don't have a picture of Rogelio.

Rogelio is a young man typical of most his age in Nuevo Progreso.  He has a wife and a baby girl and even though they were living with their parents, he was working to support them.  Rogelio was paying on a small piece of property where he had started building a tiny house in the new colonia of San Francisco.  But Rogelio is now in prison in Reynosa with very little hope of being released anytime soon.

Even his parents don't understand exactly why Rogelio was arrested and imprisoned, except that he was accused of having a vehicle without ownership papers.  Rogelio claims that he bought the car, but that the papers he was given were invalid.  It will take an attorney to sort out all the facts in the case to the satisfaction of the officials.

Meanwhile, Rogelio has been away from his family for six months as of this date.  Apolinar and Carla cannot afford to pay an attorney to look into the situation.  Rogelio's wife Perla continues to make the trip to Reynosa every week to visit him.

Without a doubt Rogelio had done business in the past with people who were of questionable character.  Maybe they took advantage of him, or maybe he knew what he was doing.  Either way, Rogelio faces years of incarceration unless he receives a miracle from the Lord.  First Rogelio would need to submit himself to the Lord and change his way of living.  Could it be according to Romans 8:28 that all things work together for good?  Let's pray for God's will to be accomplished in Rogelio's life.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
