More from Joanne
Hey Liz,
It’s Saturday night and first chance I have had to read anything. First, the women’s bible study went well and we will be doing another one Thursday night. Focused on God’s love and promise. Some of the women have come a long way and discovering what God can do and what a perfect plan he has for all of us. More bonding going on. At each meal Juanita is introducing a mom and her children and telling their story and how they came to the Casa, then they talk some; most are shy but some tell of their gratefulness. Susanne and three of her brothers came to town by bus on Monday and we took them back today when taking the first weekers to the border. Susanna’s family lives about 35 miles from here. It was fun to spend time with them and difficult to say goodbye. For the rest of you, Susanne, who is now 11 and her 4 brothers arrived at the Casa about 4 years ago and I became very attached to them; mom was pregnant with one at the time, but did not know until the following year. Last year mom hooked up with a man and moved from the Casa. Last year Juanita brought them for a day to visit while we were here. Like Andy, I would love for her to come to the states some day if she could. I think her mom is a good mom and she is very precious also. I just hope she continues to seek God’s word and bring up the kids knowing the Lord.
Another long day. Moved rooms around with the first group gone. Haven’t settled in yet. Back in “our” room Liz.
Not sure if we are doing the fiesta this year. With other groups here this year, we haven’t much time for using the kitchen. Another group coming in Thursday for Lisa (50 people). We have plenty to do though.
Liz, Thanks for keeping in touch with Ron; I’m calling him tonight when I get done writing. Back on antibiotics; finger doubled in size. Oh well.
Lots of stories to tell when back. Sonia gone; tell you later. Looking forward to church tomorrow. Showed Narnia (in Spanish) last night at the church. Good crowd.
More later. Joanne
