prayer requests

First of all, I just found out that some friends of ours had their truck stolen last night. They need this truck for their ministry in San Juan Tecuaco because it is a 4WD, and a car just won't make it to their house. They do have a small car, but it has many problems and it's defintely not a 4WD. Please be in prayer that their truck will be found.




Second, Bárbara was not given her visa. She went yesterday, and they were applying to get her a visa and give legal custody to the family that is adopting her, so she could go and live with them while the adoption finishes. But at the Embassy they decided to wait and said when the adoption goes through to come back. So, I guess, please pray that the adoption would go through quickly, so she can go home to her new family and the medical attention she really desperately needs.



They new intern came on Monday. She is Sara from Texas. She is really sweet and I think we will get along well. This is her first time our of the country and her first mission trip of any kind... and she's here for 5 months! Brave girl. I believe she is around 19 years old. Also, Justin, who will become Bárbara's adoptive brother is here for about 4 months. He is from New Jersey and is also 19. I feel so old. :/



Things have been slowing down around here. Thank goodness. The girls will start school again this Monday, and things will seem to get back to normal.



My family is driving down at the end of the month. Please be praying for them. They will study Spanish for about 6 weeks and then we will all go home together. (for a visit... heheh)
