Hello to all in los Estados Unidos! This is the first time I've had the opportunity to check the posts, and I was really encouraged to see all the comments from so many different people. Just a quick note to Sara- I just finished giving Pasquela her bottle and being captivated by her big, beautiful eyes and bright smile. She is doing well and being loved for sure- by us and the mamas. I also have continued to be blessed beyond belief each and every day and am definitely improving my Spanish! Sidenote- yesterday was my birthday and Thelme our wonderful cook got me a birthday cake to share with all! It was so special (and delicious!). Can't wait to see you all when we return! Thank you for your prayers- I'm praying that as you meet with our Creator you feel His presence as much as we are experiencing Him down here.
All because of Christ!

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. James 1:27

Stephanie,
Hi, I am the one who wrote about Jose. I have fallen in love with him. He is so funny. He loves to hold my hand and walk all around the orphanage. When he wants attention, he will cry and say mama, but won't crawl. He has enough padding to crawl, but refuses. Today, he was awake in his crib, so I showed him pictures of you from the block and said mama and papa. He was trying to say it and I got papa out of him. Then , I got him out of the crib and walked with him. You are so blessed! If you change your mind(which I know you won't) I would take him as my own in a momento. It sounds like he is very loved, because Grandma wrote in, but if he needs another Aunt let me know.
Jesus love, Tami Bronke
Marrita, thank you so much for your comment about our sweet Pascuala. Whenever someone is with her or takes pictures of her, I hang on every word, as though I were with her at that moment. I am so glad to know how much love she has gotten from so many different people. I know all the hugs, cradling and kisses she has gotten will help her attachment to us when she comes home. Thanks for loving on our sweet daughter. Her mommy, daddy, sister and brother can't wait to hold her forever!!
Thank you Aunt Tami for loving our boy:)! It means more than you will ever know!! It is so comforting to know there are others filling in for us until we are together as a family! I love to be able to hear details about him so this is such a sweet blessing, especially this week!
Bless you for what you are doing! God is so good!!!
Stephanie
Tami,
I am Jose's Gammie. You are such an angel for taking time to care for our sweet little baby boy, Jose. He is such a handsome little man and you can not help but to fall in love with him. Please give him a big hug from his Gammie and tell him that I can not wait till he is home with us forever. Thanks for all you and your team are doing. Love you all, Darlene
Marrita My Sister....You are coming home right? Or am I going to have to change your entry in my address book? :) I know you are showering the love of Christ out onto all that pass by your glance. We're praying for you and the team and can't wait to see and hear of the Awesome of God that you are experiencing! LOVE YOU!!! Stacie
Hi Marrita, We just got home last night from riding bicycles for a few days down in the Shawnee National Forest. We got to read the blogs every day at the hotel where we were staying but couldn't respond until we got home. We looked forward to reading about your wonderful teams adventures every day and how God was using each and every one of you while you were there. We can't wait to see you when you get home to hear all about it! We are keeping you all in our daily prayers and pray you all have a safe flight home. Lot's of love, Dad & Mom
