it feels like home...Lupita warmed up even quicker this time. we're having so much fun with all the kids. they are so loving.....and hungry!! about 10 of them wandered over for dinner tonight. we're feverishly working on craft preparations for 100-200 kids. tomorrow is church in Salitre. I can't believe how much has changed in the last year. the kids have grown so much! there are more stores and painted homes. i'm having a blast with my own camera this year, and I can't wait to get home and sift through hundreds of photos. we had a thunderstorm this afternoon....pretty common here as the climate is semi-tropical. We have plans this week to visit the falls, go all the way up to La Joya to preach and treat patients and then stop in la viga for the kids club. Oh, and there are three women who are due any time, so we may have a delivery here!
Sabina is back home. I mentioned her in the last blog. She had to deliver her own stillborn baby, and then they tried to convince her that she'd had a C-section, so the hospital could collect more money from her. Meanwhile, she was begging for a new room b/c two of the eight women in it had gangrene so bad, there were worms in their open infections. She did minister to 13-year-old who lost a baby and was disowned by her parents because of it. Sabina's faith is so strong!!
Well, we're getting ready to sing Happy Birthday to Nina, one of Lisa's daughter. Maybe I'll get to post more later!!
We love and miss you all. Give our love to the kids!

I guess I have nowhere to complain getting crafts ready for 66 kids! I'm glad your trip is going well. Any news on your suitcase or Dan's meds yet? We're expecting lots of rain here, too, in the next few days. We're trying to play as much outside as we can before we're stuck inside!
Amy, I hope everything is going better for you. I hope that Dan is able to continue and I pray he gets his laugage back. Sounds like you have a lot going on there. I'm sure the time is going to fly by. Please you and Dan keep safe and we pray for your safe return. Love you, Mom
