It has been a while...

Sorry for no update in the last 2 weeks.

It has been very busy for us since we decided to stay. Most of our free time has been spent getting ready for the school year.

Things at the orphanage are going well. By the time I get back to the home there should be a couple more young boys arriving. I am looking forward to this as there has been mostly just girls. Finally, someone I can relate to! haha! And then, probably later this week or early next week there will be another 2 boys coming.

Our time here is almost over. Its hard to believe that the summer is over already. It has been probably the toughest 2 months of our lives. I will say that totally honestly. We have wanted to give up so many times. But God called us here for a reason, and we know that he has a plan for each of these kids. It is great that we can be here in Belize for a year yet. This way we can help the home along to continue to do the stuff we introduced, as well as help them with some fundraising efforts and getting some organization established. I believe that God has a great plan for that place...

So we are here for another week and a half. Our last day will be two Fridays from now. I believe it is the 24th of August. Please pray for the children that are new to the home as they will have some BIG adjustments! We would love to hear from all of you. Please drop us an e-mail... it is always much appreciated. We will try to respond to each individual e-mail. Let us know what you are up to!

God bless,
Blaine & Melissa Dueck
