Blessings!

We have really been enjoying the KCS team. They are such a nice bunch and have been great to work with. Today they hauled sand in sacs down a ravine and across a stream to two orphane's home. Carlos and Dilia were orphaned over a year ago and someone donated money for a cement floor for their little shack. Because of its remote location, although, you cannot drive to the house and have to carry all the supplies in by hand. The long way would have been a 20 minute walk one way and Rocky thought that was too much, so he found a short cut across a creek! Wow! The team worked so hard - they also got soaked!

This afternoon we hiked the hills of San Antonio and were able to visit a number of children in their homes, including our little girl, Anayeli (see the photo). What a blessing to be able to actually visit your sponsor child and see how they are growing and maturing. Anayeli is doing great! She has accepted the Lord as her Saviour and we spent time together yesterday worshipping the Lord. Today we visited her at home and prayed for her, her brother and her mom. Her dad doesn't live with them and her mom works at a bar in Tactic and doesn't always come home at night. Anayeli is turing 9 this Friday and her little brother is 7. They are fortunate that their grandma and auntie live on the same property and so they are not all alone when their mom doesn't come home. Their home is no larger than our bedroom and is made of wooden slats with big gapping holes between the pieces of wood. They have a dirt floor, yet, she is clean and dressed up in her best clothes for our visit! She is an amazing little girl!
