Cheryl's visit

Today Cheryl came to visit, and with her she brought a couple of very dear little ones! I asked for your prayers about Maria here and by God's grace she came through surgery really well and has had a speedy recovery. The concerns have turned back though to the tumors. She spent almost a year in the U.S. trying to receive treatment for them without any true success. She has been back here a couple months and plans are for her to go back to the States as soon as she can to start a experimental treatment in hopes of it shrinking the tumors. Her mom and sister came in from Waspam today (so they came by us to pick them us) and I took this picture of them. Her mom was surprisingly emotional (often you don't see much of any emotion in the miskito people but she was quite teary eyed).

Please continue to keep Maria and her family in your prayers. She is especially in need of prayers for miraculous effects from this drug as her prognosis is not very good without its success. 

The other little one came in the form of our little miracle man. Let me tell you- that he is. If I didn't know, I would have never in a million years believe that this little boy I was holding today was the same one I sat with in the hospital 2 and a half months ago. That little boy is gone and a new one has come and taken him over physically, and emotionally. Tears ran down my face as I held him remembering the way he felt before. It truly is amazing what God has done in this little boy.

Here he is with me and Jhoselin- his older sister. They look much more alike here than they did when he first came here, when he was in the hospital here, when he first smiled, and when he last came to visit. He is definitely a beautifully blessed little guy who has found some people who really want to pour into his life and prove God's faithfulness through his healing.
