Things have been busy for us. The girls are off of school for two weeks, due to Easter and spring break. We finished three weeks of work teams followed by our dedication service and first Sunday in the new church building. Many people came to visit for the service.
Jaqui turned 13. This is one of the nicest "morditas" we have had in a long time. Some of the other recent birthdays were not so lucky.
Gloria and Kaleigh enjoy a wagon ride. Emily and Bere were busy picking lice out of the girls hair!!! We had a little lice problem, which affected half of the girls. Hopefully they are now gone, after many shampoo jobs, and lots of head searching.
We just got back from a few days at the beach. More pics to come.
West Bend arrived today to help out with the finishing touches on the church, as well as the next group home.
Now we need to keep the girls occupied until the 20th, when they start school again...
Karla LOVES hanging out (and sometimes bugging) Kaleigh!!!
Kaleigh ended up liking her costume once Karla let her run free...
The girls did a really fun craft with one of the last teams (in April)... Usually the older girls think they are a little bit too cool for the crafts, but they really liked this...
A few weeks ago, some of the girls acted out a skit that portrays the battle in our lives between good and evil... You can see "Jesus" in the middle, in white, as He conquers Satan. It was so powerful to see them act this out. Please keep praying with us that as the battle of life is so real, they will understand that in Jesus we have victory!!!!
We went to the beach!!! With the help of Kali Zobrist and Katie Schick, we had a great time. Bahia de Kino is a beautiful bay about 3 hours from CVE.
The older girls (with Keith's moral support) jumped off this dock, and they had a great time doing it! It took a few of them a while to build up the courage to actually jump... Keith got his exercise treading water and convincing them to jump!
