...and speaking of Rehoboth...

Now that there were 3 less kids at Rehonoth, this DID allow for a few more to join the family. Meet Wilfer and Elfido:
Wilfer, left, is six years old, very bright, and fitting in well with the two other 6 year old boys, mas o menos. Elfido is 10 and is going to school for the 1st time. I love how bad circumstances often have fabuluminous silver linings, like, going to school, and even more silver (?), living in a safe, loving, fun, Christ-centered home w/three square meals everyday, which includes, but isn't limited to, home-grown avocados!


Other updates show darling Camila dressed in her school apron for her new class in Antigua, being walked home by Tio Alejandro. You may remember that she and her sister Marisol were adopted from Rehoboth by an outstanding Guatemalan couple, Ernesto y Anabella, who also plan to enroll the girls in english class! Looks like school makes Camila a wee bit tired, eh? Hard to keep here eyes open. Both girls are thriving in their new family! Thank you Jesus!



Here are Edger andChepe, two of the oldest jovens at Rehoboth. Both are nearing, or are at, the end of their regular school careers and need to
learn a skill or trade for when they leave Rehoboth. So Hope Haven, where they manufacture kids' wheelchairs, has offered an opportunity for them to learn various skills and warehouse jobs. What happens when ministries serving the same Dios work together!
