I cannot wait to hold him! Though I did get to babysit for my Pastor's 4 month old (Latino) baby boy today so that helped :) But it made me miss my Bolivian Babies!
Adios, Shana and Hillary

Thanks to Carla Booher for the blog! :)
Wednesday night we had a "going away" party for two of our volunteers.
Shana is from Texas and has been touring...
~ The financial situation for Casa de Amor is uncertain at the moment. Funding seems to have slowed, so please pray for financial wisdom for all of us and for donations to generously come.
~ Please pray for the newly functioning local board of directors. They have some big decisions to be making and are seeking God's wisdom.
~ Thank you for praying for a new social worker! A very experienced one began work with us on February 2.
~ Please pray for good progress to be made in the social cases of all of our children so that their papers can be processed for a return to family members OR adoption. Several cases are in the works now!

"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us...let us not love with word or tongue, but with action and in truth." I John 3:16-18
Due to the nature of our work, Hogar de Amor has a policy of not posting kids pictures AND names together on the internet or public places. How I wish I could, but I could easily have people from Belgium to Canada and everywhere in between writing and asking "How can I adopt [fill in the blank]?" (You can't! Yet! They're mine.) Or many other scenarios which are not good for the kids/homes, so sorry about that...
