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…

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…

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…

: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…

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…

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…

All of our staff had to take specimens and blood tests as we do every year for the health department so as to be certified. Our vice-principal in our school was assaulted and robbed on a bus. Two weeks ago Tatiana was robbed on the bus as she…

Quique had his cast on his broken arm removed so he is more comfortable. With all the children out of quarantine the afternoons are filled with laughter and joy as the siblings are together in the afternoon. Changes are all around us as the pandemic continues, people are…

William, one of our college students, planted flowers for Kate in front of her office at the school. Georgie had another birthday party for Michelle with pizza. Heidy's dorm, Cometas, of little boys received new sofas and chairs.

Today was Michelle's 28th birthday. She is our adopted special needs child. It is unbelievable that it has been so many years. One of the younger boys broke his arm while playing soccer. It was a great day today as the children were all outside playing as there…

It was so cold during our church services this morning. It was heavy winds and sprinkling. All of the Americans and a number of the Guatemalan staff eat lunch each Sunday with Dottie and myself and it is the time we can fellowship.

There are no more children with Covid on campus so no quarantine which allowed Billy to open the school for remote learning. We still have no idea when the teachers will be allowed on campus. "Having somewhere to go is HOME. Having someone to love is FAMILY. Having…

Gretchen was one of the best missionaries to come to Casa. She loved the kids and always smiled. Two days ago her father was swimming and drowned. He was 80 years old. Her heart is broken. Mending a broken heart means casting all your anxiety on Christ because…

Valentine's day is today and usually is a really big deal but the children are restricted to their dorms. We have not had any Covid cases in 6 days so we should be able to get all the kids out of quarantined and back to school by midweek.

Alan and Brenda returned from the states so will help with our staffing. We did not have church services again today due to the ten days of quarantine. I pray that each dormitory had their own prayer time. We are still blessed as none of the last group…

Someone has offered to help us buy mattresses as we have not purchased any new ones in over 20 years in some dorms. If you want to help any amount would help us. Of course there are different sizes so if you want to help any offering is…
