Today there is great rejoicing!

We had a very special day today here at the home! Rocio, Karla & Ana were baptized. Their testimonies are so sincere as they testify to God's work in their lives. Corey Yoder had the message and brought out the beauty of the fact that even though these girls have known pain like no child should have to know; even though they haven't known the love of an earthly family as God created it to be, now they are part of the family of God and have a Father whose love is so great we can never even comprehend the fullness of it. A Father who will never forsake us or reject us as long as we are living in His will! What a wonderful salvation we have! What an awesome Father who also will direct our days and who never allows anything to happen to us that hasn't been approved by Him!

On Friday, Lorne & the board had a meeting with our lawyer about the situation here. Wow! God is so good! And as I say that, I know that if the outcome would be worse God would still be good. So, with gratefulness we say God is so good and we know this is His work here because He is making a way for the work to continue!

The lawyer explained what we need to do to move forward in a legal way. There are some changes to make in details here but nothing huge or highly difficult. One huge answer to prayer is that our workers get to stay! They will allow us to get the legal papers for the workers we have. We will need to get in more Mexican workers to be legal but God will provide those details and we are just more than content to rest with that assurance. He's done so many wonderful things with this situation and has done far above what we were able to ask or think. So many things have been changed for the better. So many 'maybe's and 'what if's that were changed. We just stand in awe!

Tomorrow Lorne travels with the board to Sinaloa, MX to interview some people there from Marcela's church in regards to possibly coming to work here. Pray for them as they fly and also for wisdom as they seek God's will in making decisions. They plan to return again on Tues. pm.

And, now I'll just add some random pics...

Fun times!

Buddies!

She crawled up there herself and was quite proud of it!
