Kathy

My Kathy started kinder yesterday, wow i cannot believe that she is 5, and in school! I did so good, i wanted to cry so bad watching her get on the bus with the kids from casa ninos, and wave bye to me with excitement on her way to school. It was a little tough, but i pulled through, lol! She is so grown up, 5 going on about 15.

We have been working with a social worker to get substitute family of her, like we have of Joey, and we are hoping to have this done within the next month, or so, nothing goes quick here, but i am believing that this task can be done soon. Please pray that we have favor, like we did with Joey, for the judge to give us substitute family of her. With this we will be able to get her a vista and travel with her, and also we will be able to start the adoption process. For those of you that don´t know what substitute family is, it´s like foster parents, we are her guardians.

Thank you in advance for your prayers, take care and God bless you all.

Lots of babies

Last night Ernie and I had the opportunity to babysit ALL 7 babies, while the girls from the unwed moms home went to a birthday party, we are brave, LOL! We had a good time. They all got along pretty good, there were a few fights that broke out over toys, but over all it turned out well. All I can say is thank God for Elmo, he saved the night :)

I know it has been a while since i have blogged, but just for a quick update, we are still going to El Espino every week, giving out bags of food to a little over 80 families. We are looking for a piece of property to buy there, and once we do that we want to build a building to open up a carepoint, so please pray that we find the right property, and that we can get the help that we need to get that going, thank you, take care and God bless you all.

Kathy helping at El Espino

This week Kathy went with me to El Espino to help me give out candy to the kids and the bags of food to the mama's, we had fun, and she was a great help, my little future missionary, gotta love it. I gave her the choice to go and play at the kids home, or go with me to give out the food, and she said, mama, i want to go and help give out the food, makes her mama proud :) I really want to teach them early about giving, and helping others, it's what life is really all about.

Missions Team from Mobile, Alabama

We had another missions team come to visit carepoint El Espino, this one was from Mobile, Alabama. They had a big team that was mostly young adults. They did a few dramas, a puppet show, they gave out special gifts to different age groups of children, they also gave out bags of food to about 80 families, they preached and shared the gospel, and then at the end they gave an opportunity to pray for the women and children, and the families that were there that day, they were a true blessing, and everyone seemed to really enjoy them, oh and i forgot to mention they had a clown with them too, his name was Frijolito, which means little bean, he was a hit.

We just want to say a big thank you to you all, it was so great having you here to come and share God's love with the people of El Espino.
