I said yes... and we will be a family!

well this is the kind of news that makes 2 people really happy hopefully forever!

on one hand you have a beautiful lady, who loves the Lord and in her heart the biggest need of a kid is to know God, so she works in an orphanage, and in a school near the garbage dump, she sees the needs and she suffers because she can not meet all of the needs. She prays that she could help at least one of them.

on the other hand you have a handsome boy, who has been in an orphanage, hoping that one day his mom is going to come to rescue him, he prays that she would come...and the same God listened to both prayers, and approved my application for adoption in Guatemala, I am going to be a mom some time next year! please pray for that poor kid that is hoping for a mature mom and will get me instead!

me teaching at University with my pjS...

  

school year is gone!

I thank God for the school year that ended, you and I had the privilege to serve God by serving the children at Precious Moments, this is a school for children that live near one of the illegal garbage dumps in Guatemala, those children are very poor, many would NOT go to school if Precious Moments were not there, many of these children would probably not go to school at all.

 I thank God for the churches, families and teams that came to visit this year, or just sent the money to help this ministry, it is thanks to you that these children had the opportunity to learn about life, but most important, to learn about GOD.

At the orphanage the children finished the school year as well, the government is looking for some relative to take care of the children, it is very sad to take the child to the judge and have an uncle, or aunt saying (with the kid listening) that they don’t want to have the child at their home. Alfredo who was in the hospital for months got sicker and the doctors just did not know what was wrong with him; his dying mom came to take him with her. Please pray for both of them.

A youth group started to meet on Mondays at my house, please have us in your prayers, today 14 kids came, ages from 11 to 16.

My family is coming for a visit!!! My mom will be here from the 21^st to the 25^th. My sister is coming with her family from the 20^th to the 27^th!!! I am so happy to have them all here!

And the Lord (through my friends) gave me a ticket to go to Minnesota for a week; I am looking forward to see my friends from MN!!!

Thank you for your continuing prayers for us, we need them.

Again,
