Quick update

Praises:
1.  Both ladies with marital problems say that things are better right now in their marriages.  Pray for them to be good testimonies in their homes.
 
2.  Señora Gloria-- the elderly lady that we are taking care of in our cabin is doing much better.  We found out the reason for her falls.  She took an entire bottle of vitamin C (high sugar content) that was intended for two months time in one day and she also took an entire bottle of cough medicine in one day.  She only needed 6 ml per day.  Her reasoning was that she wanted to get better quickly.  Vanessa has come to stay with her on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 24 hour shifts, and Sarai, another sweet girl in our church, is taking a 10 hour shift on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Our kids are staying with her those nights and other women in the church are ta  lking about helping on Saturdays.
 
Prayer requests:
1.  There is a young lady in our church who seems to want to follow the Lord.  She has been faithful at church for almost a year.  For various reasons, we have recommended that she brake ties with the father of her young children—she is not married to him.  She has allowed the children to visit him, but prevented him from coming to where she is living for several months.  On Saturday night he somehow got into her home, became violent, hit and raped her.  Please pray for wisdom as we deal with her and for her emotional healing.  She does not want to go through the ordeal of pressing charges.
 
2.  Men's meeting on Friday night.
 
3.  That all of us as parents will live Christ-like lives in front of our children.
 
4.  Mike had to deal with one man for his abrupt manner of speech to many in the church.  He responded very well.  Pray for continued changes in his life.
 
Here are the pictures that we forgot to send last week from the "farewell" of Ceci and Jorge.  Everyday our kids tell us how much they miss them.
 
On the homefront:
1.  Mikey is busy applying for scholarships.
2.  Cara was an iguana at her gymnastics presentation. (See picture below).
 
 
Thank you so much for praying!
 
Faith for all of the Goldfusses
