Twenty five years ago the Lord brought us a little two year old who was lame. The doctors said he would always be like that. But one of our girls just took over & in 3 months he was walking, sitting up and havng a ball. He as…

Billy and Olga

Jim preached this morning. He has done a great job with the Bible ministry to a number of dorms. Billy and Olga have been at Casa for years and have a beautiful daughter. Olga watches over the transition home and Billy has, He is director for all education…

Eddy

As I get older my memories of the past 32 years seem to pop into my mind. Eddy was a boy who graduated high school and wanted to go to collage. It proved difficult so he took a job stocking shelves. He was fired unjustly. But the local…

Dorcas

Dorcas has lived here for years and graduated becoming our financial officer. She has built her own home in Poaquil where her family lives. She is moving into her new home but will continue to work at Casa. I am so excited, happy for her and blown away.

Selvin

I preached & then I poured my heart out sharing the three things that I want to see before I die. I want the Lord to give us 150 more children. I want the new dialysis facilities to be in use & I want every child past, present…

New Kitchen Equipment

The installation of the new kitchen equipment is going well.   We were contacted by the health department and they plan on coming and checking all of us and possibly provide the vacines. Of course, these are just words. Hopefully they will follow through.

Another Death

Junior has been in the hospital 6 weeks while his mother has been there with kidney disease and early his morning she passed away.    We received new commercial kitchen equipment and Oscar along with the older boys began the installation.

Surgery

Debbie had a car wreck back in Lake Charles. They thought her aorta was damaged but they were wrong. Praise God! Although my sister is on oxygen 24 hours a day they will attempt to repair her broken hip which is what put her in the hospital in…

Leslie

Heidy is going to the states Wednesday and Georgie on Friday. Amy will stay with the little boys but no one is available for the university girls so we will trust them to do what s right. Leslie’s father died so she will be gone two days. She…

The Covid 19 has cost us I believe 6 kids. They were older studying virally but just could not grasp it. They are so bored and since they are over 18 could leave on their own. Each said the same thing and that was “ I am getting a…

Three new children

We received 3 new children last night age 5, 7 and 9. They will quarantine for 5 days. One of the truly wonderful children we have had he pleasure of parenting is Caesar age 24. He is studying law in the university and has an opportunity to work…

Another wreck

Dottie has gotten a negative reaction to wearing a mask so our  doctor got her a box of 100 masks and a cream so she will change masks daily. I saw where Tiger Woods (golfer) had a terrible automobile accident. It is almost one year to the day that…

The women had their weekly Bible class. I have been working on my biography. It was a lot easier to live it than it is to write it. Allen has a few more electrical problems to do and then he will loo at our plumbing issues. The reports…

Nice extra help

A helicopter fell into the Lake at Atitlan which is a major tourist spot. Allen worked and repaired the fans in my home. He is a blessing. Amy and Brenda have not stopped helping since they arrived.

Michele

It is hard to believe but today is Michelle’s 27thbirthday. She came here at age1 with epilepsy and the medical folks gave her a short life span but God has blessed her. She had a wonderful birthday party. Dottie has begun inviting the boys from university who have…

Valentines Day

I did not feel very well when I woke up so I listened to biographies of Corrie Ten Boom, Jim& Elizabeth Elliot, John Wesley, Joni Eareckson, The Great Awakening. As I age, nearly 78, I just seem to want to study the lives of those who made a difference…

All day with Jesus

Today I set all day to listen to Christian bible lessons. I should run through a troop and jump over a fence. Today was one of the coldest days we have ever had. Looking at the TV it appears that we in Guatemala are better off than Texas…

Snow in Houston

I had a real laugh yesterday as I slipped and fell. I did not get hurt but before I could get up Michelle our special needs child ran up the stairs to see if I was ok. She cannot read or write but she has compassion and love…

I need a boost

The ice and snow in Lake Charles knocked out Debbie’s electricity, phone and email. Our son, Chad, has kept them warm with the fireplace. With so many computers, etc for the kids to have class we are having to add more lines. So Quique & Abraham are doing…

Adela

The children are doing the best their can with virtual classes. The university students are having a tough time. Adela starts at 7:30am and finishes her homework at 9pm. She is doing that because she wants to make all A’s. She did make all A’s last semester. Josue…
