It is hard to believe how quickly this month has passed. It is making a difference having the children study one day on line and then one day with the teacher in the classroom. There was no rain yesterday so the children enjoyed being outside. Walt & Randi…

Praise God! We have water! Oscar did a great job. Walt and Randi arrived last night from North Carolina. They were dorm parents for a few years and have been missed so much. Jim is doing better and about out of quarantine.

Ironically as we are trying to fix the well it is raining everyday. So the work is going slow. There is water now but the electrical boxes cannot be changed until Monday. The Murphy's provided pizza or goodies for all the dorms. We celebrated our son Myner's 28th…

I woke up thinking of the families who lost their children in the Uvalde slaughter and what it made me think about were my children here and in the states. I need to give more hugs & smiles everyday. It made me think of our children, grand children…

The work on the water well continued and was totally maintained. We will have 5 more 20 foot pipes and a new motor/pump. So the price of $6000 is more than reasonable. Praise God! Bryan and Kristi and their family arrived and had a pizza party for 3…

Jim has Covid so we are having everyone wear masks. Six visitors arrived today. The water well's pump/motor is burned so we have to pull up all the pipes, replace the motor and add more pipe to go deeper. The cost will be about $6,000. Oscar was able…

A true miracle. Our dialysis building is named Genesis who was our first child to have kidney failure. This was more than 15 years ago. Se left Casa when she was 20 and would you believe that today at age 25 she and her husband had a baby…

We will start having teams and visitors beginning Wednesday. The children will be so blessed. Throughout the pandemic the children have not gone to court to see their parents nor speak to the social workers or judges face to face. It has all been on zoom. But this…

Today, Sunday, is the first Sunday we had no music. Moses normally plays the keyboard but hurt his hand yesterday. Mario is the vocalists but was too hoarse to sing. We are teaching through the 10 commandments and today was part 2 of commandment #9 "Do not Lie".…

Rick C, a faithful sponsor has Covid and asked for prayer. Keyser returned from the hospital but appears to need to return so pray for him. Heidy has moved from being dorm mother and one of our college girls, Evelin, will assume the dorm Cometa. (Little boys)

Yusevely has pancreatitis while Keyser is experiencing terrible diarrhea. So they are still in the hospital. They are both at an age where our dialysis children suffer so much. One of our teenage girls has lupus and today she asked Gladys to bring her to me because she…

Gasoline in Guatemala is $5.45. Our food bill, electric bill and the rest are off the charts but God has been so faithful as you, our sponsors, have been faithful and we are even taking more children and God is providing for them. I have been going book…

Please pray as both Keyser and Yusvely, both who are on dialysis, had to be sent to the hospital. As the dialysis children age their health decreases. Would you believe that the Lord sent us another child last night? He has been so good to us. Children keep…

Josue' and Alex took two children to court and had to be there at 8am. One was in Guatemala City and one in Chimaltenango. Josue' returned and he helped me with the paper work for the new taxes on Americans with Residential or Retirement status. Real pain! Josue's…

We are going to renovate a number of our dorms. We are planning on placing all children ages above 18 on one side of the property. So vencedores, buen pastor, estrelitas, esperanza up and down will be renovated. So we will need talented work teams throughout the summer.…

Would you believe the Lord sent us another child? I am so blessed. Billy and Olga had a meal of celebration for Sarah. In fact I wasn't feel well this morning so Billy preached in my place. Tatiana received her cap that is the symbol of her nursing…

Sarah Ortiz graduated from college today and we are so proud of her. Her degree is in Graphic Design. Praise the Lord because He has sent us still another child. Keyser has returned from the hospital and is doing fairly well. One of our college girls talked to…

Keyser, dialysis, is still ill and in the hospital. Continue to pray please. We received 3 more children. God is so good. I am continuing to go book by book through the Bible for my radio show. I have reached I Thessalonians. I now have shows through 2023.…

The Lord sent another young girl last night. It is such a blessing to be constantly receiving children as in years past. The water on our front well is correctly not working. Oscar and Alan got it going but we need to find the source of the problem.

Jim left for the states as the family is honoring his brother who passed away. The Lord has blessed us again with a new girl. This is the 3rd teenager to come lately who has never attended school.
