God Grew Tired of Us - final day

Panther works at a restaurant as a waiter, and John enrolls at the Syracuse community college.  Daniel gets involved in Job Corp., who is going to help him get en education and go to get a job.  John is doing pretty well; his mother and sisters are alive, and they are coming to America to be with him.  He is very excited, and is now working three jobs to support his family back in Kenya, and to bring his family to America.  One of the lost boys went missing on July 2, and was found a few days later.  The lost boy was arrested for certain behavior on a bus, then put in a mental hospital because he had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); he was mentally unstable.  The lost boys reunion was held in the Grand Rapids, Michigan.  South Sudan is the newest country in the world, it is now four years old.  Pittsburgh, 3 years:  Panther earned a high school diploma, and can now officially go to college.  Panther also has a girlfriend back in a refugee camp, and he wants to go to her.  John went to Phoenix, Arizona to go to a National Conference for the Lost Boys Foundation.  He was voted secretary for the foundation.  Daniel works at a grocery store called Whole Foods, and it has been 17 years since he has seen his family.  His mother got so happy, that she screamed and fell on the floor crying.  Panther is going to Africa, and he is very excited that he is going to see the girl he is going to marry.
