The second week has been...

Good.

There are a few main concerns we have this week. There are many people that drop by for a minute here, a minute there. Some of them just make the kids act out, others we are unsure who they even are. Its been a pretty tough thing for us to get used to as we are trying to insert structure for these kids, and everything becomes very wishy washy when kids just drop in and out. Which ones belong at the home and which ones don’t.

Other than that, we are having a much better time. Every afternoon we have about an hour to an hour and a half of “School Time” where we teach the kids their ABC’s, numbers and other educational stuff. We also are sure to have about 15 minutes of Bible stories. This will probably increase as the kids get better with their basic educational skills, and we will do more activities to do with the stories when that happens.

Praise items:
-God is giving us strength and patience (most of the time)
-The kids are really latching on to the Bible stories. Today most of them were very into it, answering the questions and really listening.
-God has sent us a nice breeze in the last few days… very nice!!

Please pray for:
-We are moving out of the place we have been staying at and probably will have to drive back and forth from Blue Creek everyday. If at all possible, we would like to find something in Orange Walk so that we don’t have to drive the gross road everyday.
-Continued strength, love, and patience from God.

Thank you for praying for us. We love you and look forward to hearing from you all!

God bless,
Blaine & Melissa Dueck
