Rudy and Heidi are a couple and they will finish all their collage classes and then will only have their thesis to complete next year. I wish I would have counted how many collage graduates we have seen over the years. God has blessed me so much. The…

This will be the third year that we will not be able to take the 15 year olds to the hotel to celebrate. So Gladys and I have decided that we will take the girls from 2020, 2021 and 2022 for a day out. We will eat out…

Sara Ortiz graduated from the university as a graphic designer. She has lived in the transition house for more than two years. Billy and Olga taught her everything she will need to know in order to succeed. She has a job and a bank account. She is 28…

A group of Korean doctors came to visit and offer their assistance. They have been here many times and their leader has been helpful to Casa for 31 years. Three of them are optometrists so we will set up a time for them to return. Enough of the…

Saturday there was another huge landslide preventing traffic coming up and going down the mountain nine kilometers from Casa. This will be terrible for Aroldo from getting his dialysis children to their dialysis treatments. We received 5 new children last night. The staff had lunch together and it…

Dottie and I left the gathering at 10:30pm and woke up to find out that the older teens and some staff stayed until 0ne PM. That has not happened in five years or more. For a Christian parent there is nothing more of a blessing than to know…

Even though the rain was as heavy as I have seen Friday night was wonderful as all of the dorms participated. There were a total of fifty presentations. There was singing, skits, dancing, prayers for one another, praise and Josue' preached on Trusting God. The house parents did…

Tara and Sara gave snacks to all of the girls from the baby dorm to collage girls. Our transition ministry is doing well. We have 6 girls and 3 boys who are in college or working and/or going to collage. Billy and Olga oversee this program. These young…

We have finally gotten permission to no longer require the wearing of masks on campus. Josue' is having to get a new visa as he will travel to the states to meet with some of our board and make decisions for the new year. It is still raining…

We are all praying that the judges and government will allow Baby Moses to remain here at Casa. I want to give God praise for how we are finishing August with all our bills paid and no serious problems with Covid. I know that everyone is suffering and…

I am going to drive you crazy because I will remind you often we need a staff member to teach Bible in the school. Jim has been awesome and his teaching will be missed. And, of course, we need a person or persons who can schedule teams, transportation…

The baby is so small and precious. He will stay with Alan and Brenda. One teenager came to my house to receive Christ.

A baby was abandoned at our gate. Josue and Marlon took the baby to the judge. So the baby was sent here. Friday was the last day of classes for the seniors and the joy of accomplishment was everywhere. One teacher bought lunch for all the seniors. To…

My sister is a happy grandmother as baby Luke was born last night. We had a handful of folks arrive. They are not staying very long but it makes the kids happy to see new faces and even a handful of old timers. My daughter-in-law, Lily, graduated yesterday…

Adela celebrated her 24th birthday. She has been Dottie's right hand helper and loves Michele, special needs, and treats her like a sister. I do not know how we could care for her without Adela. She is an excellent university student & quickly moving towards graduation. Duke, Nick…

Duke and Nick spent yesterday looking for the pieces to repair our welding machines. They have gotten our huge welding machine working after a number of years. After nearly 10 years Jim is returning home meaning we will need a Bible teacher for the school

Duke from Alabama came here for the first time in 2020. He is now 78 years old but wanted to come see Casa again. We all are getting older but have such wonderful memories of the last decades. We have small teams coming over the next two months.…

My strength is almost fully returned. In fact last night I visited the lunchroom and greeted the children. Today I walked steadily. Being 79 and having Covid was no walk-in-the-park but God is so faithful. I felt well enough today to prepare the sponsor monies for the children.…

Jim preached to the children today as I will finally get out of quarantine tomorrow. God has been faithful to look over all of us here at Casa who were touched by Covid-19. I cannot really explain how proud I have been of he staff and children as…

The Lord blessed us with two more children so we are slowing climbing. Dottie and I have done well being quarantined so we will be back on the job Monday. 3 John 2, "Beloved, I pray that you will prosper and be in health, just as your soul…
