These last two weeks have been full of lots of up and downs. God has been very good to us, supplying grace for every moment of drama and exhaustion! His power was shown to us in a very real way on different occasions and I praise Him for that! One night especially, we were pleading for deliverance from the attacks of Satan, and God so clearly just took away the darkness and replaced it with peace. Our God is so much bigger than any problem we might face, and sometimes they seem so mountain sized!
On Monday Bethany returned from her vacation and her sister Christina came along. Christina plans to be here for 8 months and is the caregiver for 2 of the toddlers that were Milena’s. It’s so good to have them back to help!
On Thursday then Frieda Keupfer and Heidi Mast returned to Kansas. We so appreciated the 2 weeks of time that they gave us here! It was a tremendous blessing to have them here and help with the children along with being an encouragement to staff and teen girls as well! Thanks again girls for blessing us! And thanks to your families for the sacrifice that they made to allow you to come! God bless all of you very richly!
Our family took the girls to the airport on Thurs then spent the day shopping in San Diego. In the evening we went to Tijuana and spent a few hours with Liz and Andrea at the hospital. That was a wonderful treat! To be able to sit and hear about things from home, visit with our loved ones, even if only for a little while, was certainly refreshing for us!
On Friday we again rejoiced to see God’s work bringing forth fruit. On Thursday evening Marisol, 14 yr old, gave her life to God and became a Christian. She came to me on Friday and wanted to tell me about her experience and I was so blessed to see the joy in her life as a result of the peace that she found! Marlene had worked with her until late into the night and Praise God she found Him as the answer to her questions and the pain in her past. She expressed her desire to wear a veil and this morning she started walking in obedience to this doctrine as well. All Glory and Praise to our Great and Holy God for His faithfulness!
We are still Very short on staff and so please pray with us that the Lord would send us workers! And pray strength for all of us as we continue on!
