Goodbyes and Hello's...

The Month of August was a bit of a roller coaster ride for all of us down here in Mexico...
We said goodbye to three of the little ones... bitter sweet really.
Little Yahaira went home to live with her mother who made the decision to make some major adjustments in her life for her precious daughter's sake.
Saying our Goodbye's
Yahaira's in the middle...
Then almost as soon as little Pedro and Jose entered our lives, we witnessed an answered prayer in theirs. Family members from another village were able to adopt these two beautiful boys and the looks on their faces when there new family arrived wiped away any tears we had.
Jose and Pedro!

And then we were all blessed with the presence of two new little girls. Sisters, Rosa age 11 and Citlaily age 5 joined the group of little ones. Big sister Rosa is quite mother like as she cares for the younger one and little Citlaily is a ball of love.

A Sunday to Remember...Grande Cosas!


Sunday Mornings Video

"Grande Cosas, a hecho a Senor!", we sang this morning in OUR NEW CHURCH BUILDING!!! What Big things you can do Lord, it means. And we do mean BIG... God answered the prayers for a new church home in such a big way and the new 2 story auditorium with a balcony leaves us all with a little more than elbow room to dance and sing our praises to our Great Big God! With 200 new donated padded chairs, 6 large economic mounted fans, and a stage complete with a NEW set of Drums for Jason... we had more than enough to praise God for.

Sitting on the front row I couldn't help but weep a little as I looked around at the many familiar faces who all looked so completely altered by the new hope and new faith that their Provider has given them.

When your singing in your church this Sunday morning, think of us and smile! Heck, JUMP UP AND DOWN... I know we will be!
