Dear friends,

 

As I think about writing this update, there is a theme that continues to come to my mind.  "The Lord gives and takes away.  Blessed be the Name of the Lord".  At the end of April we experienced a huge loss at Casa Elizabeth.  Our youngest mom celebrated her 13th birthday in the hospital and then we had a funeral for her beautiful son, Carlitos Jose the very next day.  This month one of our moms delivered a healthy 10 plus pounds baby boy.  We experienced such joy to see the birth of Bejamin Ren�.  Even when we do not understand God's ways, we can know that God is good all of the time.

Casa Elizabeth
Our first girl of Casa Elizabeth has come and gone.  This ministry is very different than our old ministry with the boys of Casa Gabriel.  The girls come to us when they are pregnant and then they leave after their baby is a few months old.  We know that our time with each girl is temporary.  Maritza was a wonderful first girl to have go through Casa Elizabeth.  She has a precious baby, Isaias Adrian, who is 6 months old.  We are sad to see her go, but she is always welcome to come visit at Casa Elizabeth and to come for dinner and bible study at our house on Monday nights.  Our prayer is that she felt loved during her time with us and realizes that she is a child of God who is beautifully and wonderfully made.

Back to Huaticocha

Casey will be leaving on Thursday to go back to the jungle town of Huaticocha.  This time he is taking three of the young men with Opci�n de Vida and an intern with Inca Link with him to work and prepare for our home church coming next month.  Some of the older boys with Opci�n de Vida (afternoon group) are excited to go on this trip.  Casey is happy they are going and he knows that some of the best bonding times occur while on trips.  Please pray for Casey, Fritson, Boris, Steven, and Ben as they go and serve in Huaticocha.  The students of Grace Community will be excited to know that they are going to finish a bathroom.

This is a house of one of the church members who has generously loaned us their home for the week so that the boys of Grace Community will have a place to sleep.  The girls will be in the staying at the pastor's home.   

 

Road Trip

Our family is heading on quite the exciting and fun journey.  We leave next week to a couple of Inca Link's ministry sites in Ecuador and then on to Trujillo, Peru.  Purpose of this trip:  training and orienting the 14 summer interns who will be serving in Peru and Ecuador.  Inca Link has 10 short-term teams coming this summer, and we want to make sure the interns are ready.  One of the fun ways the interns orient themselves with the different ministry sites is their participation in Inca Link's  version of the Amazing Race.  We will be in the car for a very long time and with lots of winding roads.  All of us but Casey experience the joys of being car sick.  Please pray for our trip from May 26-June 1.  We are eager to go and see what God is doing in different parts of Ecuador and Peru.
