A week after this picture was taken in the hospital a year ago this month Dottie was paralyzed from the waist down. I want you to look at that smile because that is what she looks like everyday despite her illness. It has been a special 4 weeks…

This was the last photo taken with all Dottie´s brothers and sisters and spouses before 4 passed away. Dottie has had a couple of days of not feeling well so I ask you pray extra time for her. She is sleeping more which is not healthy with this…

Not everyone received this photo and she is so pretty I put it here again. The teams have been wonderful. I gave my testimony to the North Carolina group which is the 4th time in 2 weeks. I never get tired of telling folks all that God has…

My most favorite photo of Dottie and me. I had a real nice conversation with Chris who worked a couple of years at Casa many years ago. He and Heidy live in Oklahoma, and he wants to help Casa. I appreciate his willingness to get involved as he…

Roxana had these beautiful flowers delivered to Dottie. We were able to get a lawyer to verify my last will and testament. Josue and Estella will leave for the states next week and get it stamped in the USA. Felipe and his helper got on the roof to…

Aria our granddaughter was hospitalized for 3 days but is doing well now. I have given my testimony hundreds of times. There are folks who want to write my story which I encourage if the emphasis and glory is given to Jesus and not Dottie nor myself. The…

Mike with Dr. Lou The team that arrived to help with VBS is from Houston, Texas. There is a team from Oklahoma here also. Also, we were blessed to have Gordon here from Gulfport, Mississippi looking at helping us with remodeling dorms. He is considering a long-term partnership…

Marlin, Dottie, Johanna and Mike. You can see Dottie´s joy. Vacation Bible School began today. I can remember when Mississippi teams came with 60 people and had huge VBS programs where dozens of children were saved. I am praying with Dottie this will be a special week for…

Doris, Shirley, Bubba and Boche all are doing well. Two teachers, one nurse and one on line marketer. The house parents and other staff are preparing for the vacation Bible school which will begin Wednesday and finish Sunday morning. We have been watching the situation between the USA,…

Amy White comes often and even stays in a dorm to replace dorm parents. She and Adela love each other. It has been wonderful to have so many young adults visiting us. After everyone left Saturday Veronica came at 8pm. She was one of the first 10 children…

Johanna grew up here and cared for Quique when he was infant/toddler. I performed her wedding 16 years ago and that was the last time I saw her until today. Dottie was so happy today as Marlin, Shirley, Jasmin (Querwin´s wife) and Yohanna visited the last 2 days.…

You have seen this photo but Dottie asked if I would post it again because she loves Spot and Tony so much. I gave my testimony today as yesterday did not work out. They were so attentive and prayed with me. Orlando drives Adela to buy groceries but…

Although our meeting with Dr Lou, Chief Administrator of Roosevelt Hospital and his wife was cancelled because he had to meet with the Director of Health, I remember when we met in a restaurant years ago and spoke of the need in Guatemala for a home where poor…

Shirley loves Dottie and needs your prayers. The Woodlands women have prayed diligently laying hands on dorms and posting prayers on every building. Today they came and prayed for Dottie. Shirley who is graduating in 3 weeks as I have already told you. She and I went to…

Father´s Day meal provided by Benjamin. Yesterday two buses were racing on the highway in front of our home. They drove past San Lucas and both drivers had a fist fight. That is road rage. The Vencedore´s boys came and knelt around Dottie and myself and prayed a…

Oscar and Tatiana with us on Father´s Day I had a very difficult night with a headache that would not go away. Tuesday is Guatemalan Father´s Day. I received so many texts from children who have left and have families. Yesterday the children were served smores all together…

Larry being baptized. Very sad circumstance as Estefany who was a dialysis patient for many years but turned 18 in May and sent home without dialysis available to her is critically ill in the hospital now.  This is the third child sent home these last 5 months because…

Benjamin and chefs fixed us a meal for Father´s Day. Yesterday Larry had a pinata for Vencedores in the afternoon and the Woodlands team had hot dogs with both Buen Pastor, my house and Vencedores in the evening. The Florida team worked in the transition area. It is…

At this time of the year I think of Dottie´s father and his leading me to Jesus 63 years ago. He never came to Casa and saw what God had done through him when he led me to Jesus. I wonder if he can see from heaven at…

Michele helping with Dottie´s therapy. Julieta brought Michelle a physical therapist shirt so Michelle is now helping with Dottie´s therapy. Part of the therapy is tossing a huge ball back and forth so it is a legitimate therapy action and Michelle feels like she is really helping her…
