What a week of good things! First, I had an amazing birthday. It was the first that I spent at home for a while and my mom surprised me by inviting a friend I met in Bolivia over for the week. My whole extended family came and we had a great party. I can easily say it was one of the best ever.

Secondly, I just received some news that almost made me do a happy dance. The little girl off of the streets that I met during Christmas on the streets and again before I left is now attending El Jordan, along with her mother (Dayana and Lydia)!! That little girl made such a mark on my heart that I knew God was doing something in them. Last time we went to visit them in the canals, I printed off a picture of my grandma and of me with Dayana and gave it to Lydia. Now, she has it on her wall and every time she looks at it is reminded of two people who love them and are praying for them. Then, about a week ago, a missionary from YWAM, met Lydia and another friend living on the streets, gave them food, some shoes and enough money to get a Micro to El Jordan. So they went. Liliana, the other lady has been three times already, but Lydia and Dayana just went to a class for the first time yesterday. This is beyond a miracle. Please be praying for their transition out of street life as I know the pull is very hard at times. Waahooo! Praise God! He is so amazing.
