Quick Update

I have been home for over a month now, and I can hardly stand being away from the kids. I miss them so much! I am will be going back on December 10th but that isn't soon enough.
Things have been going well there, we got a new baby on Monday, he was five days old. I am sad that I wasn't there when he arrived at the orphanage. Apparantly his mother is in the hospital with serious health problems. Paola, Diana, and Estuardo also went home to their families recently, and that was sad for everyone in the orphanage. We all loved them so much. But they are happy with their family, and all we want for them is to be happy and loved and taken care of. They live with their grandmother, who has a lot of love for them. She struggles financially though, and is having a difficult time paying for Diana and Estuardo to go to school. We are still involved with them and hope to be able to help as much as we can financially.
We also just had a few volunteers who went down and were able to build beds for the volunteer house, which was really nice. So now we are all set to take in more volunteers on a regular basis, and we could definitely use the help!
