Well, preparations are being made for my return home and it is finally sinking in. I look to the future in excitment, yet am trying to spend as much time with the kids as possible as it hurts my heart thinking about leaving them. But I know I am leaving them in good hands. They have already started to grow attached to Sam and Angela, which is really wonderful. Also, my dog and cat will be living with new loving owners here together. That took a giant load off my shoulders and I am so greatful. They will enjoy their new homes.

A little update on Carlitos. He is out fo the hospital and coming back to El Jordan. He is skinnier than I have ever seen him though, and still very sick. Where before he was all smiles and giggles, he now is easily upset, and rightly so. He's a pretty sick little fella. So please continue to pray for him.

I also have another prayer request. One of our girls- actually Beba's mom (Beba is the little 2 year old I asked prayer for for her head when she cracked it open), lost her baby friday. She was pregnant for 19 weeks when all her ambiotic fluid left her uteris, leaving the baby to sufficate. It died on friday and though she was devastastated, she told Heidi that her little baby boy was now in heaven to be cared for by God. He was beautiful and looked so much like his older sister and brother. We made a little wooden box for him and gave him the name 'Louie Solomon'. Please pray for Lucia (the mom) and her family.
