I had to laugh last night as Josue came in and told me that the American kids who arrived yesterday had beaten him & his team in soccer. I said "Josue, that is strange. You guys have never lost like that". He said "Well, we though the 4 of us could beat the ten of them but the y won by 2 goals". He was so serious. 10 guys to 4 guys and he thought they should have won. What confidence!

Estella turned in her thesis this past week so the pressure is off her shoulders. She also was asked for a resume for another job at the university so pray that she will have favor. Isn't it amazing that these 4 years have passed and now she is on the verge of a university degree? Born in poverty and abused until coming here at 8 years of age and now look at what the Lord has done.

If anyone has any ideas what we can buy for the older boys for Christmas that is small and I can carry back in two suitcases please email me immediately at casa_aleluya@yahoo.com.

Girls love 'girlie"things but I cannot find "boyee" things at all.
