What can I say, there is so much to be done. I have been thoroughly worked today, and I expect nothing less. The harvest is many, and the workers are few. Jesus calls us to tend to his sheep and that is just what we are trying to do. Today some of the ladies and I sorted through the generous donations from St. Matthias and what a blessing the clothes, balls, and all other donations are going to be.
Each of the childrens' faces that you see breaks your heart and hearing their stories breaks your heart even more. I am slowly becoming attached to these children and my heart is being moved for Guatemala. Today also we were able to play with some of the toddlers. Those of us who were there each had one to two children in our arms or on our laps at any time. These children just want to be loved and to be held and to be the center of someone's attention if even for a moment. I love hearing their laughs and seeing their smiles. I honestly feel a little overwhelmed with how much there is to do down here and how big of an operation this orphanage is. Please pray for more workers to continually come down here; they need it.

How wonderful to be able to open your heart and your arms for those little ones - I am sure they are just hungry for the love you all have to offer. I will pray that many many more people walk through those doors to love on all those precious kiddos.
It's so awesome to hear how you are doing and how the children are responding. Keep up the good work, be strong in faith!
