Aug. 08 Newsletter
Our new houseparents, Fernando and Brenda are adapting to life here at Casa and working with us right now with our children. We are trying to get them a place built and ready so that they will be in a building with 8-10 children. Right now they are working with the 13 that we have right now.
Rosita, who came to Casa in July has been to many appointments here and the latest doctor's appointment indicates that she may have some hearing in her right ear. We go back next week to have a more accurate test of her hearing.
My Dad was able to visit this month for 10 days and it was good to have him here as he fixed so many things and was a huge help here at Casa.
My wonderful husband Dorian has not been feeling well at all this month. He has not been able to keep food down and has lost over 20 pounds. We finally found a specialist that started him on some medicine and it has helped him some. We both get every Monday off and we have been spending it going to his doctor's appointments. He is to have a test for a parasite this coming Monday and then maybe a scope of his stomach. He is getting discouraged and having a hard time keeping up with all of his duties as minister. Please pray for his complete healing.
Terri Tindall sent out the first Casa newsletter so let me know if you did not receive it and I will see that you receive it. Jen and I came to Casa de Esperanza in October 2005 but during the last few months she has decided to do other ministry work here in Honduras, so she has left the Casa family but we still expect to see her here from time to time to love on the children. Pamela is seeing a plastic surgeon now also and we are trying to get permission for her to have surgery on her foot. She was hit by a bus when she was younger and the surgeon then did not do a good job and she is in a lot of pain and it bleeds almost daily.
Life in Honduras is never boring, as somedays we do not have electricity, some we do not have water. Some days there are transportation strikes and our help can not get here. And on one ocassion this month my showerhead almost caught on fire. Never a dull moment here. But God is good and always turns whatever is meant for bad into good for us here at Casa. Please feel free to email me any questions or comments.......
Blessings
Karen and Dorian Guido
