New rules?
Dottie is recuperating very well and is walking although her legs are painful. Check with your airlines if you are traveling as it appears Guatemala has dropped the complicated method being used.
The mother died
You remember that the older kids took an offering for surgery for the mother of two children here. Sadly she died last night. They lost their father less than a year ago. The children are taking their first semester tests. I played cook and nurse for Dottie. She…
Dottie
Dottie fell coming up our steps and damaged both legs badly. Our doctor was able to treat her but it is painful. Debbie brought me the mail going all the way back to 2021.There was no way to get it here so your thank you notes are late.…
New Board Member
We had a great day with Josue preaching and his wife, Estella, singing. The Lord blessed us with 4 more children ages 11, 7, 4, and 2. That is 9 this week. God is so good. We are excited to announce that Estella was voted on to the…
Our meeting
Poor Josue! For the second time in a few days the courts sent three new children after 2am. They were abandoned and going from home to home begging for food. Of course we have prayed daily that the Lord would bless us with more children. This was the…
The Board
We received two boys at 1am. Josue' & Estella arrived from Tenn. and the Casa board of Directors came in around noon for our board meeting this weekend
Counseling
When young people age 18 and older and want to have a girlfriend I spend time trying to prepare them for a Godly relationship. My board is arriving for a "quick" meeting as they all have to return to the states Sunday or Monday. Dottie has been seeing…
Estephany
Blanca, Alan and Brenda work very hard to keep the toddlers busy in the baby dorm. Twitter posted that the volcano near Antigua is acting up with smoke. No danger indicated. Dottie has two groups of college boys who help her with her flower, etc. One group works…
Grandmother
My 76 year old sister is going to be a grandmother for the first time. How great is that? Georgie left for the states for two weeks. Gasoline is now over $5. God is looking for willing hearts. God has no favorites. You do not have to be…
Thank you
As is true all over the world gasoline is over $4 here and food is rising. I want to thank you for remembering us with your giving. Some members of my board will come for a meeting this weekend. They cannot all come but we will have a…
Honor your parents
Ihave been teaching on Sunday mornings the Ten Commandments and today was "Honor your Parents". It was a real challenge because God did not say just good parents but abusive parents also. I preached on the fifth command to "Honor your mother and father" and the response by…
Lungs
The child with the birth defect has not had surgery yet. The problem is that his intestines are pushing up on his lungs. The physicians want to make sure exactly what needs to be done before performing surgery. Pray for them to have wisdom. Adam and Vilma brought…
Optometrist
We received four children who were found alone in their house. They were ages 2, 5, 10 and eleven and were alone and never in school. Dr. Mike Toups from The Woodlands, Texas has come to Casa yearly for over 20 years examining every child and staff member.…
Birth defect
The child who was scheduled for surgery has been too ill to go forth with that surgery. In fact Josue' was called by the hospital to go sign papers because the child was born with the disease. Josue' has talked with the judge so they will understand this…
Still a problem
The technician who has been working on our generators could not repair them. Adam came and he was stuck also. Tim gave me the name of the person from the USA who was the one who set everything up originally. Oscar has made contact with another technician. The…
Preaching
As I continue to make radio tapes I have learned so much. I have been teaching on an overview of each book in the Bible and have gone from Genesis to where today I am in the book of Luke. We are still not able to get the…
Precious little girl
We received a little girl who had been sexually abused and described it to Josue' in detail. She could not remember the last time she bathed or had eaten. The situation in Ukraine will have effects around the world so Christians need to pray. One of our younger…
Josue’ preaching
:I had a rough night thinking about Gerson. A parent should never have to bury their child. Dottie and I had three children all born with an endocardial cushion defect. They died at 1 year, 9 years and 2 days. Since Casa began we have buried over 30…
Gerson
A few years ago one of our older boys graduated from high school. He did not want to attend college so he left Casa. A few months later he was shot to death in the streets in a drive by. He had an older brother who was a…
Generator
We had a technician working on our generators the last two days without him being able to repair them as yet. One generator provides electricity for water for all the property while the second generator provides electricity for the baby dorm, medical clinic, the dialysis unit, the offices…
