March 2013

Dear friends and family,

February came and left so fast! I was blessed to minister with and by 3 different teams that came to visit and help the children at the orphanage, as well as the kids at the school near a garbage dump. We were able to bless a widow and her 5 children with the building of a home and not only that! We bought 4 bed for the children who are between 9 and 18 years old, who had never slept by themselves because there were only 2 beds for the 6 of them.

                                                                                          

I thank God that a Church from Mississippi is going to support one of the nine classrooms at Precious Moments during the whole year! Now only 8 more classrooms to go!

Precious Moments is running well, please keep the safety of the teachers, students and myself in your prayers, just last Friday we decided to have a special day, we took the kids to a park to have the devotional there, and I took my green van to make trips with the kids, as we were having our devotional, someone broke into my van, stole everything, radio, my computer, some money, books even the first aid kit! I lost about $1,000.  I praise GOD because they did not hurt me, and I know that HE will provide.

I PRAISE THE LORD that one man from Wooddale Church decided to donate money to help Pastor Jaime Osorio to come and preach to the kids 2 times a month, now we (Jaime and I) are praying to be able to provide food to the kids, so at least that one day they will have a decent meal in their body. We are teaching to 50 kids every week and each meal will cost about $2.00 per kid, so we are looking at 100 per week to feed lunch to 50 kids. Please keep that in your prayers as well!

God is good! I got another loan to make some remodeling at my house so it can fit more people! So when you come to visit me it will be a little bigger, please do not think that I have a huge home! My land is 6 meters front (19 feet) by 12 meters deep (40 feet) so as you can imagine I needed to make some additions on top cause it is the only way to build in that small land. UP! And I want you to join me in thanking God for that!

Another exciting news is that I have a new puppy! It is a boxer named Rocky, he is going to be the watch dog! (so I hope!)

The orphanage is doing great, the kids are learning, I am still teaching English 2 times a week and go to the babies as I can as well. We just finished our first trimester of school and they are doing well. Pray for Cristofer who is 7 years old, just came to the orphanage, he has been in the line between been HIV or AIDS, he is doing better now, but he will be check again, to diagnose next month.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

FOR HEALTH, mine and from the kids.

I really want my mom to come in April when I dedicate my house, please pray that she can come! (and if you have miles from American that are about to expire and you are looking for someone to use them, we can do that for you!)

Pray for my Church as it is going through a hard time in leadership.

I want to be more like Him, I want to share His love through my eyes, please keep that in your prayer list.

Please pray for monthly supporters for myself.

May the Lord bless you with health, joy, love, provision and with the gift of giving you the opportunity to share about His love to others.
