Third week...

Hello Everyone!

Praise items:
-3 children went home with a couple from Blue Creek that are looking to adopt. They had a great weekend. They didn't want to go back and stay at the orphanage. It was a cool experience to be with them as they started to adjust to the thought of living elsewhere. The excitement was all over their faces! Praise the Lord!
-We finally got a nice cool day today!
-The kids are warming up to us more every day.
-Our lines of communication with Dr. Leslie Mendez (the lady who runs the home) are finally more open! This is good for more defined roles (still a little bit hazy, but altogether good).

Prayer items:
-We got two new children (10 yrs and 12 yrs), from a very rough home. I along with Dr. Leslie, took a ride to see where they lived. Terrible terrible conditions. 10 kids in a place, not bigger than my parents living room.
-Melissa and I are in the midst of making some decisions about next year. Some stuff has come up and we are really searching God's will for what we should be doing. This isn't eexactly a small decision. Please pray. You should know what the decision is within a week or so.
-The children are amazing us every day! Today, they broke out into all kinds of childrens songs. "Jesus Loves the Little Children", Some sort of "Temple" song that Melissa knew. It was really cool. So we have added a "singing time" to our day. Continue to pray that the kids would make God's love their own!

God bless,
Blaine & Melissa Dueck
