Another glimpse of Lily...

DIF...where all the work to get the children orphan-status and where adoptions are formed. Please pray for this place. We have many children who need orphan-status so they can have a forever family!




Car body part store. A bit different from the states!




This was such a welcome sight for me! I survived a weekend with no electricity/water. We finally got electricity...and later the water. Then, we realized we were out of propane. No real shower for 3 days. By Tuesday noon I was really praying about this because I had a meeting with DIF and I needed to be presentable. 2 hours before I had to leave for the appointment, the propane truck arrived and Gary lit the hot water heater! Voila! We were so thankful that the company sent the propane truck since Lily still owed them over $3,000. Finances have been tighter than usual...because money donations from the states have drastically dwindled. Please help us pray about this!




A face of an angel!

An attempt at a bon-fire. We are so thankful it didn't work. Actually, the girls planned this since we had no electricity at the dorm due to high winds. If it would have actually ignited, the whole state of Chihuahua would have been in danger!




Sergio is in charge of the vehicles...and he's doing a great job!

I have about 1 more posting of pics left. Hopefully I can get them up within the next day or two.

Prayer requests: Mama and Papa as they are away and will return Friday night. I also ask for prayer for the staff as they are running the orphanage in their absence. They are doing a great job!

The Tustin/McBain team will be at Lily the 25th of this month. Please pray for them as they are making last minute preparations.

Lastly I would like to ask for pray for Alex. He has been my partner in Mexico that helps with the adoptions. For some reason, his full-time job has been terminated. So, he needs to pick up another part-time or full-time job. The best scenerio would be that the orphan-status for all the children would happen...and we can keep him busy full-time with adoptions.
