March 2011We started the month off by celebrating 3 years of marriage. It still amazes me that God brought us together almost 5 years ago and what he had all of this planned out for us. How blessed we are to have one another. We pray that God continues to richly bless our marriage. We fervently ask for your prayers as we struggle with infertility. We would love to start our own family!!!! We continue to wait and trust in HIM who is bigger than all of this.
A few of the ladies in the church have started up a ladies bible class on Saturdays. It really has been a blessings to so many of us. We are all taking turns teaching one another. Most of us have no experience teaching adults but to date 5 women including me have brought a message to the rest of the ladies in the church. It is a great time for us to fellowship and just be together as a group of women and share. The women are starting to do small raffles and sales and they are hoping to soon be able to give back to others there with the money they are collecting. There plan is to offer different classes to women there in the community (such as jewelry making, crochet etc).This is a great opportunity to reach out to some of the ladies in the community.
Nothing much has changed with the kids in their classes. They continue to inconsistently have classes. It is so hard on the kids. Hoping that things take a change for the better soon. This is the future generation they are lacking on educating.
Pamela continues to have problems with her foot. She is still using crutches after having the small surgery on her foot to take off the scar tissue. She has a few stitches left in her foot that is bothersome. She hopes to get back to the Dr. soon to get them taken out and continue to be on the road to recovery.
We have an amazing new house mom, Mirian! She has really stepped up and seems to do such a good job at Casa. She started the first of the month and then the last of the month we got two new kids to live in her house. Emilse Guadalupe and Carlos Adonis, they are brother/sister. So pray for Mirian and the new kids as they continue to adjust to Casa.
After much thought and prayer Dorian has decided to leave the church. He is taking some time off to see what God has planned for him. He just feels burnt out and without passion. Many of us I know go through these stages but some of us are just too embarrassed to speak up and say we are drowning or need a break. I know this was a hard decision for him to make. He is just taking some time off til the end of summer and if he regains his passion or fills differently he will more than gladly work at the church again in Santa Ana.
Lastly we would like to ask for help. We really would love to have a vehicle we could purchase of our own. We use Casa de Esperanza vehicles. Dorian mostly uses a gas truck that sucks the gas out of it. We would like something that we could have of our own and be more cost efficient. I know this may seem like a big request to some of you. Although we have debated for over a year on what to do vehicle wise. Although we feel it is time we ask if any of you would be willing to help us. Any interested can leave money on our pay pal on my blog spot (the link is listed below) or email me and I can let you know how to send the money to us.
Blessings~Dorian and Karen Guido
