Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
This past month has been a whirlwind but the verse says it all. I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me. We started this year attending
the annual Calvary Chapel missions conference at Murietta Hot springs,
California. God provided for us to visit my Mexican family whom we
ministered to so many years ago. These three weeks were packed filled
with blessings from the Lord.
End of January Cory finished high school and he did not take long to go
looking for a job. He soon had a few interviews that now has been working
full time, Monday through Friday for a calling center for more then a month
now. This job has its challenges but he is persevering and hoping to save
up money to buy a motor bike.
We are looking forward to taking a trip to southern California beginning of
June to attend his graduation.
February we had a lot of different challenges. First I started off with a
pinched nerve in my lower back causing a lot of pain and after some
treatments with a chiropractor, massage therapist I was able to move
around a lot better. The week after I was getting better Tino went in for his
surgery. WE had a three hour drive to Corozal where World Pediatric from
the states were performing surgery for the many children in need. There
were many sleepless nights after the surgery as Tino was healing. Tino is to
be in a cast for six weeks. Surgery was February 20th. Tino had his Achilles
tendon lengthened on both legs. This will help him to put his feet down flat
when he starts to walk.
We have had to change the cast twice in the past week. Sunday (11th) we
had to get it changed because the cast was slipping and his feet were no
longer in place. We could not find an orthopedic so we had a regular
doctor do it. After a few days we could see his feet were not straight so we
found an orthopedic that could re-do the cast and that was Thursday
(15th). Seeing his toes are sticking out, I noticed today that one foot looks
swollen. I have given him some ibuprofen that the doctor prescribed and
hopefully that will help us through the weekend and if the swelling
continues we will need to see the orthopedic again.
The past two days Tino has has many crying spells and sounds like he is in
some kind of pain. When he is not crying he is laughing and being his
cheerful self.
We are still in the planning stages for Casa De Shalom and would
appreciate prayer for God to show us who needs to be on the board and to
bring someone with administration skills and I guess like minded Christians
who want to help see a home get started for the children and adults whom
we want to give a chance for them to grow to their potential
