We have much for which to thank God! This week we had two days that we would have water for awhile then no water for a longer while! The dishes were piling up, the laundry was becoming a mountain and no answers for why there is no water. We asked the Lord to give us water if it would be His will, and for wisdom to fix the problem. He gave us water! We're not sure what the problem was. Darin was looking at the pump, lifted it up a bit and the water is still coming. Thanks to God for caring about our needs and answering prayer! This is a very dirty country in which to live! We sweep and mop floors twice a day (& it needs it)! So water is an awesome thing!

Lorne & I got to make a trip to LA Tuesday. We'd never been there before so it was interesting although the only place we went was to the airport. We took Milena, a mom here, to fly to Costa Rica to be with her family. On the way home we picked up some incoming visitors who were coming for an overnight visit.

Pray for all of us here on Monday. We received the sad news that little Edith is going to her new home on Monday and it is very hard on the staff and children to see her go! She is just learning to walk and is the youngest child we have here. She will be going to be adopted by her cousin. It is the investment of the heart in these children's lives that makes the difference to the children, but also what makes the pain so much greater when they leave!

And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9
