SPLISH, SPLASH I WAS TAKIN' A BATH......
Yes indeedy! We FINALLY have hot water for the kids at Sagrada Familia. Many thanks to our supporters who have helped us so much. We have fine solar panels with back up electricity. The kids are pleased (probably CLEANER, too!) We have been so blessed by the love and support of our Tios who live so far away.
Not only do we have hot water, we have a BIG new washing machine! Still, our houseparents insist we wash our undies and socks by hand every day. Well, I guess we can do that! Little by little we are settling in more and feel really "at home" now. But, boy, do the kids that are going to join us here next year look LITTLE! Hope the sprout up some!
We are asking the Bishop to allow us to add 7 to 10 new kids at San Jose at the beginning of next year. That will only bring us up to 17 and we can accomodate 24 at each location. Pray that the Lord will enable us to reach out in this way next year.
