Out at Casa Hogar Douglas, it's been another great day and we continue to see God's hand in all that is going on here....and plenty is going on. Our kids (and your kids) continue to do great things here and God is doing great things in them. We continue to see how God is using a 33 year old young lady with Downes Syndrome - not to break hearts, but to light them on fire. This started last year (see "Looking through their Eyes" song on posting earlier) and has blossomed to new heights this year. Our kids have sat and played, painted her nails, and simply loved her like Jesus since we've been here. How does God come up with plans like this? We can definitely see hearts changing and lives being transformed.
That love continues to carry on with the relationships being formed with all the other kids at the Children's Homes. It's come in times like quiet walks up a hill talking all the way in 2 different langueages, understanding nothing of the words, but understanding each other's hearts. Or it comes in manic game time or in a simple game of dancing together. Watch for the changes in your kids....God's amazing power and the ability to move hearts in the most unassuming of people and circumstances continues on!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the blog... thank you so much for keeping it updated. The stories and pictures help make us lonely parents feel like we are part of it all. You all are doing amazing work and I know if we SEE God working through you the children there can certainly FEEL Him working through you. We love you all and are so very proud. Anxiously awaiting your safe return. Love you Leslie!!!

The posts are wonderful. I know I check them several times a day to see if anything is new. When there is it is like getting a gift. So you guys are not only sharing and touching lives there, but here as well.
I have several co-workers that have stopped by my desk to take a look at the days events as well.
God is working on so many levels.
Peace and Joy!
