15-The Near Future

I haven't posted a blog in a couple days! As I said last time, Ken was away in Cochabamba helping a friend, and I hear things went quite well there. They loaded all the furniture into the house: a site for the sore eyes of Amy, who has been relaxing on a mattress on the floor. They changed about 10 light fixtures and things are looking up for her. Please pray that Amy will be able to find local help soon, as she can't do this job alone.

Tonight, Ken took Mike and I to an orphanage we'll likely be spending much of our time. It's called MisiĆ³n Timoteo (Mission Timothy). My kind of place! We had a meeting with the directors... in Spanish. I understood a portion of what was being disguised, but I felt a little lost. Things are looking good for us to work there. Maribell said that there's a chance of a problem working at this orphanage as a result of the older girls because "you is cute." But I don't think adding a little more testosterone to the orphanage is really worth refusing help (and we all know I don't possess a huge amount...).

So I'm personally very excited about this opportunity! And apparently I wasn't the only one. Just ask the 3 year old kid who left a puddle on the floor out of curious excitement!

Please pray:
-That Amy will find what she needs and who she needs for help with her mission.
-For my health. Nothing extreme, but I've been having some health discomfort.
-For the salvation of one of the guys at Ken's house. He seems to be much farther behind in his spiritual walk than was perceived these past 3 or so years.
-For Ken's health. He had fried chicken tonight for the first time in 3 months, but it wasn't in him for long.
-That everything would work out well with Mission Timoteo in our possibility of future work there.
