JOY, THANKFULNESS, LOVE
Those words may describe the feelings I have in my heart now.
As you know Miguel Angel has been living with me since the 19th of February, and a time of adjustment begun, he lived in the orphanage since he was 3 days old, and now he is 4 years old, he used to sleep in a room with 5 other boys and slept in his crib still, so moving to a new home,  was big to him but he is happy! He wakes up singing and dancing! he sleeps good in his bed and I think he loves his “mami” the main problem I had was that he is terrified of dogs, and I don’t want to jump into conclusions but he always asks me if that dog (any dog) eats children, and I wonder if someone at the orphanage used to tell him that… that is why when he came was terrified of my dogs, he could not see them or would start screaming and shaking and sweating, please help me pray that he can feel safe with me and will understand that dogs do not eat children! And also that I can teach him now about God in such a way that he would never doubt that God is next to him.

The Lord has been great to me, after surgery and Miguel Angel coming, I got the privilege to serve with a team from Minnesota, we served in Precious Moments, also in Sumpango church, near the garbage dump of Sumpango, and the HIV orphanage, the children had so much fun and the nuns too! Thank God for this ministry! In a not that happy note, for those of you who met and prayed for Alfredo (the boy who had a big surgery) he is in heaven now, the Lord took him about 3 weeks ago, please pray that the other kids do not think that they are “next”.

I will start teaching formally next Wednesday, after taking 2 months to recover from surgery and adjust with Miguel, thank you for your on going love and support, we need it! Please pray for safety as Precious Moments area had become even more dangerous more killings, more gang activity in the area, pray for Pastor Jaime, teachers and I please.
