Great News

We got great news about 2 little girls that were living on a mountain. SiSi and Rosita's mother had left them several years ago with their grandmother. SiSi is 6 and Rosita is 8 and their grandmother was hit crossing the road and killed sometime last year. They were living with their aunt and she had to leave for work around 7 in the morning and didn't return until 8 or 9 at night. THey were pretty much on their own and others were trying to take care of them. Tonight they are now at the Casa de Esperanza and will be safe and well taken care of. Today the groups took off in many directions. One group went to the hospital and got to take time and see the children and encourage them, some even painted fingernails. One boy just didn't think he wanted to do that although they tried to talk him into it. One group went to the feeding center to help feed the 230 children who came their today to eat. Others worked on the cement school buildings. We built 2 houses in Los Pinos today, had a VBS and did evangalism on the mountain. As a result 2 were baptized. One lady was one who they had studied with last year and she just wasn't sure and this year she was glad to see them and was ready to be baptized. Another was a husband of a lady who was baptized last summer. She was so glad they came back and studied with him. We also had a group go to the dump to feed the people living there. One comment made tonight about that experience was that "I have never seen something so awful but beautiful at the same time." One said the smell was so bad it just took her aback. We will be ready to go out again tomorrow.
