Update from Shadow

I just received an email from Carroll, the site director at Shadow. SHe says everything is going well. A few things that need your prayers though.




1) Barbara is going to the courts (this week sometime) and they are hoping that after this appointment they will have a time frame in mind of when she will be going to live with her new family in New Jersey. The States side of the adoption is done, but the Guatemalan side seems to be dragging on and on.



2) Itzel, a 12 year old who has been there for 2 years now, was sent home. The courts decided to give her mother another chance. It was hard for Itzel. She was torn between the two. Also it is hard for us to think of her back in that situation. But God knows well what he does. Just be praying for Itzel.



3) Continue praying that everything on the new property keeps going smoothly. The surrounding wall is almost done. The architects have been to Monjas and have drawn up the plans. (I hear they are beautiful!!) Construction on the houses begins in May!!
