Thanks California group!!!!

This past week a small group was here from the California worked on building walls for our outdoor stove. The kids make tortillas there daily and the ladies also cook there daily. When it is cold, windy, and wet outside this will help us keep our stove from the rain. And keep the firewood dry. Also there are some days it is super sunny and cooking tortillas over the fire when you have the hot sun beaming down on ya doesn't help matters. So these walls will help protect from the wind, rain, and sun!!!!

Happy Birthday Sisi!!!

Happy 12th Birthday Sisi! 

Some how I missed posting Sisi's birthday here on my blog. We were in Nicaragua visiting Dorian's family the first week in October. So better late than never.
When we got back from Nicaragua she asked to sleep in our apartment on the weekend in our spare bed. Which means she got to stay up later than normal and got to play games on my ipad.

Happy Happy Happy Birthday Sisi!!!!!

Antonio

Antonio is having a hard time right now in his life and I am pleading with you that you go before our Father and pray for his young man. He has some major battles and obstacles to overcome. Although I am standing firm knowing God will hear the cries of our hearts and break Antonio's.

He has always been very special to me. My heart has been aching for him daily. I am in constant prayer for him as I am constantly thinking about him. 

Please take a minute or two today and pray for this young man.

Grill

There was a team here last week from Oklahoma and they worked on completing our pavilion with a grill. We often do cookouts when groups come with the kids and now we have a grill to grill us up some hot dogs and hamburgers. Saturday afternoon the group came and grilled some hot dogs with the kids. We still need to get the grill covered and do some concrete work. Thank you, thank you, thank you Oklahoma group.

Finally!

Little Josue has been taking a few steps here and there all by himself for about a month. Well yesterday he started walking all by himself. Today he was walking from one end of the room to another end. We are so happy that this day has finally arrived! Nicole has spent lots of time doing therapy with him to help him learn to walk. All of her work finally has something to show for it!!!!
Josue is so proud of himself. He claps and dances when he walks, and all of the other kids were cheering him on too! Especially his brother Olman and Yair.

Dogs

Sisi loves dogs. She loves to wrestle, play, hug, brush, carry, and run with the dogs. You get my point. You name it and she is there doing it with the dogs.There has been several dogs here at CASA and she always has loved to give special attention to dogs.
