Some of you that had visited me in my house before got to know Alex and Isaias, both teenagers that used to come to my house to help me, I would pay them or help them pay their school, their mom cooked for some of you, her name was Letti, and after battling cancer, she became very sick January, unable to get up and it was between the boys, her mom, neighbors and I took care of her during the day, as the husband would go to work from 5 am to 9 pm. I thank God for the opportunity to serve them and let the family know that God was with them, Letti lost her battle last week.
I was honored to deliver a message at the funeral.
Internship has started; I am serving in another orphanage for children that are HIV+ and that is a great thing! Some of you might be asking: why to serve in a different orphanage if the need is in the orphanage I have been serving? Well, I am required by my university to have my internship supervised by a licensed psychologist, and that is the lack we have here right now and the reason I went back to school! So please pray for me, I really feel overwhelmed with all that is going on in my life right now.
My mom and my trip to NY, the dates I could fly to NY there was a storm that forced the airports to close in NY, I tried in different dates but the flights were full, my mom was feeling much better, the doctor gave her permission to fly, so instead of me flying there she will be coming to Guatemala by the end of February,! And I have an open ticket to USA that I need to use this year, maybe I can visit you?
We had our first group that came to bless Sumpango and the orphanage, praise God for Wooddale Church and the James 1:27, I think that the biggest impact was to donate bunk beds to 12 families that came to a required 4 night seminar to be able to get the bed, it is a way to encourage those families to live healthier, and to break the cycle of incest, cycle that sadly is very common in Sumpango,
God aswered our immediate need of continue supporting the school at the church in Sumpango, 23 children that do not have any other way to learn to read and write need support , please pray if you feel lead to help, we still need $2,500 to provide a snack, pay the teachers and some school supplies, please join us in prayer for this.
Karen is an orphan, she is still living with the nuns at the orphanage even though she is 18 years old, she is in school but needs to pay $400.00 for her school, for the whole year, can you please continue praying for this?
As for my family, please pray with us for health, energy, safety, financial help specially this last year of school for me, but mostly pray that my ears are open to hear God speaking to me and that I would be an obedient servant.
