We had Thanksgiving with those who live in our house as well as a few others who sneak in from time to time. We have so much to be thankful for. We finished the renovation of the high school boy´s dorm and dedicated the new rooms this morning.…

The team is having a carnival for the girls in Estrelitas as well as other activities. They will also have a carnival for the boys in Cometas. Estella and I worked on some business items for Casa. Yesterday: After having hot chocolate and hot dogs last night for…

Aroldo with Yusevely (dialysis). After having hot chocolate and hot dogs last night for the girls they did the same for the boys tonight. I have not felt very well physically for a week. I spent most of today reading the Bible. That is the best medicine. Romans…

I think the older kids who left years ago are worried about us. I told you of the ones who come to church and last night Bubba, Charlie, Miguel and Chino came by. It was fun but this has not happened before. But it makes for a good…

I woke up ill so I asked Andres to preach for me. Many kids visited today with their famalies: Delmi, Lorena, Maeda, Claudia, Hugo and Jonathon. They came to church and it was so much fun to walk down memory lane. Jonathon and Hugo were 2 of the…

Beautiful day The surgery on Danial was successful and a hemodialysis port was implanted so he will be going to the hospital for his dialysis sessions. A group dropped by to play with and minister to our children.

Nancy who was raised here, graduated in nursing and worked with children with AIDS will be graduating from college next week as a medical specialist. I am so blessed and proud of her. One of our college graduates left and is building stoves for the Indians living in…

Dottie being treated for her damaged hand. Laughter is medicine. Since we are moving into having more children on dialysis with four scheduled to come maybe your church or business could pray about helping financially. At $2000 a month PER CHILD anything coming in monthly designated to dialysis…

I drove across Guatemala to the US Embassy which is truly on the other side of the city. I went to get information about our passports as they will expire early next year. Daniel, one of our teens, is having surgery to remove stones. Dottie fell and really…

Our grandchildren: Robert and Aria Someone called and asked me what the cost of the dialysis is. Aroldo said it is $2000 per month per child so with 7 children that monthly cost is $14,000. Even when my grandchildren are not in my arms, or on my lap,…

Our granddaughter Aria(Pretty like her Grandpa! The teams that have come have been such a blessing. The dialysis children are so happy in their new living quarters. I share with the older boys who come to talk about their faith that there are 4 themes of hope. Healthy…

I spoke on encouragement for those who are suffering. What happened to the world I grew up in? Jesus and prayer have been removed from almost all walks of life. Parentless children and an unbelievable decrease in church attendance. We need to be looking up because the events…

Someone told me that hope is a walking dream. As I age and am 80 years old I read a lot. Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. Orlando, Tony and I worked on the sponsor lists now that kids are…

Andreas preached Wednesday evening. We are blessed to have at least 5 preachers on staff. We received a brand new car for dialysis so the children can be taken to the hospital. Hope is a natural product of the Christian life. Knowing that God is at work and…

My back is really hurting ever since the hotel with the girls. I loaded the luggage into my truck and evidently pulled something. I would appreciate your prayers. I am still high on the dialysis clinic. I was concerned these last 8 years we would never get it…

I had to get a new computer and both Dottie and I needed new phones. They were over 10 years old. Orlando and Quique set them up. I love my sister and was going to visit here in Louisiana but someone was able to get my credit card…

I am still so high following the dedication of the Anthony House yesterday. Waiting has never been easy for me yet over 12 years have passed since we began the dialysis building. It is so wonderful. I am so proud of Aroldo and everyone who supported and is…

It was Aroldo's day as we dedicated the Anthony Dialysis house. I am so proud of him. For 17 years he has dreamed of the day we would open the dialysis house. He has such compassion for these sick children. He is truly a man of God and…

I preached on the promises of God. With the dedication of the dialysis clinic (from here on known as the Anthony House) it demonstrates God may not work on our schedule but only in His timing. Waiting is a pressure when so many think you are pipe dreaming.…

We have been blessed to have the dialysis ministry for 17 years. Sadly of the 25 children we have had 17 of them have passed away. We know that without a doubt 16 of the 17 were Christians. I thank God for Aroldo's heart for these children. He…
