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 21st to the 25th. My sister is coming with her family from the 20th to the 27th!!! 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,
