A great week

What a great week. Not only are we almost completely cured from our cough's but now no runny nose etc. Faye is completely healed and I have a slight cough (almost gone). The reason the week was so good was the children at Casa Hogar Orphanage are really starting to pick up English. I wrote a bunch of English words on the white board and various members of the class could tell me in Spanish what they meant. Wow, they didn't forget in our absence. There is hope. Hehe. Now if only their old teacher could remember the Spanish as easily. Hehe. I have started them on their first sentence i.e. "I can". I then put a bunch of action verbs on the board in English and they filled in the blank for five sentences of "I can". Then I had them tell me in Spanish what they had written in English.

We also found out that little Fatima (burned mouth) was going to have her second operation yesterday, Saturday Oct. 1st. This operation was to cut through the scar tissue and make her little mouth bigger. This will now allow her to eat with a spoon. Praise the Lord. I can't wait to see her tomorrow. And a big thank you to Pamela Thompson for coordinating and Dr. Saldano for the surgery and covering the costs. What angels and saints we have around us.

On Saturday we teach at AGAPE from 4 pm to 6 pm. We were blessed last week when a gentleman named Bob gave some brand new fans from his condo to AGAPE. So thank you David, Pamela & Freda for doing all the leg work to make sure we received them. We were surely blessed when we turned them on Saturday for our English and Bible classes.

People ask me all the time what we need the most. Well it is not hard nor real costly to fill our needs. The children (boys & girls) need your prayers at both facilities. Secondarily we need volunteers to help us teach. Our schedule is not demanding. We teach Monday, Tuesday & Thursday from 11 am to 12 pm at Casa Hogar and 4 pm to 6 pm at AGAPE Home for Abused Girls. You would not believe the difference when I can take a volunteer to teach simple English like counting one to ten and also show love and interest in that child. I will guarantee once you do it you will never be the same as they will capture your heart. Call me at 322-113-0205 or see me at church and sign up there. I am only asking for a little of your time and I know for sure the Lord will bless you mightily. If your concerned you do not qualify, don't be as the only requirement is that yous speak English. We have even used Herb with His Majesty's (Queen's) English. Hehe.
