Full House!

By the end of this next week we should have a full house at Puerta de Esperanza!  

One of the things that has been so sweet is to see the Lord pull together different ministries that are going on with Team Honduras.   Leile lives in Armenia Bonito where the Pettengills work and also worked at the PDE store for awhile.  She went with us to the church retreat in April and we continue to get to minister to her and be a part of her life.   Last week she called me about this sweet girl who had just come back to live in the neighborhood, she is 16 and has a little boy and they needed help!

A few visits later, it looks like K will be moving in next week as soon as the paperwork from the lawyer is ready.  She and her 5 month old son are currently living with her mom who will sign paperwork so that she doesn't have to come to us through social services.  Mom has 5 other children and is unable to provide for her daughter and grandson.  I am so thankful that she is willing to cooperate with us and was almost in tears when she came to visit and hear about the opportunities that her daughter will have.  K has only ever been to first grade so we will be working hard with her to try to get her caught up in school and able to graduate from 6th grade within the next couple of years.  The baby has some allergies and stomach problems caused by only drinking milk straight from a cow since he was 2 months old!  So we'll be working with that as well.  K seems very sweet, eager to come, and eager to do her part to see the Lord change her story.  

Please pray more than anything for her to know Jesus personally!  Pray for the transition of all the girls in the house... they are all nervous and excited!
