Libertad!

Dear Friends and Family,

So, for about 2 weeks now we have been anxiously awaiting the start of school and it finally came!  all of my girls started school yesterday and it was basically a delayed birthday present!!! Believe me, i Love my girls, but the quiet time is unlike anything i have ever experienced!  pure bliss from heaven!  Anyway, i am typing in town and dont have much time so im just going to share some photos!  Gods been so good and He´s still going strong... praise the Lord His mercies never fail!

wendy left this on my bed one night after having trouble sleeping... she was one of my girls with the worst attitudes when she came who told me she didnt want to live with me.  Now, she thanks me and is one of the girls who always is very close by my side.  She also asked for prayer this week that she can accept Christ! AMen!  please keep her in your prayers, as her desire to accept Christ is a huge answer to prayer and  i hope to be talking with her more and more as the week progresses and as the Lord permits!

Lunch is served... Honduran style enchildadas.  we ate under a pavilion and packed everything in a huge rubbermaid tote

Fried tortillas with a mixture of meat and potatoes, cabbage, hard cheese, and a tomatoe sauce on top! delicious!

My 13 of my 14 girls who started school yesterday!  All set with their backpacks, notebooks, folders, pencil pouches, pencils, erasers, glue, crayons, and on and on and on!  thank you LizBob for the backpacks, thank you Grace Bible for the awesome school supplies, thank you Action Church for your school supply donations as well, thank you Mom and Kate, thank you everyone who helped make this possible!

p.s.  i now have 14 girls... Lorena (2nd row from top in pink starred shirt) came Friday of last week!  She is 10 years old and came off the street.  please pray for her as she is a very emotionally scarred little girl!

And off they go, with water bottles in hand and well versed in the rules of conduct!  AMen... they are learning and God is good!

thank you so much for your prayers!  i am getting closer to finalizing plans before i leave and will be discussing details heavily today with maria, Christa, and Nohemi. please pray as  i have less than 3 weeks remaining to tie up all loose ends!

press on for Him!
