So what's new at CVE...?
Well, from a previous post, you probably know that a lot! Well, our changes aren't over...as I said before, change is constant here at CVE. :)
A few weeks ago Limón and Kristi added a new puppy to their family.
Meet Hank (like the book, Hank, el perro vaquero or Hank, the cowboy dog)
Ángel and Hank (a german shepherd-rottweiler mix)
Also a week ago, our teaching staff grew by 1 as Sarah Frank arrived at CVE, ...for good this time (she was summer staff just last year).
Sarah and Candi
Sarah will be teaching English in our school here on campus. She lives in the girls' house with Pau and Kali and shares a room with one of the older girls. Sarah and I had some really good talks last summer and it has been such a blessing already to have her back! :)
Please be prayerful for Sarah's adjustment as she transitions to a new culture, new language, new support group and church family, new living arrangements, gets to know the kids, prepares for the school year, etc. Pray that Sarah can be filled with the Spirit and God's peace and grace. Please pray that her godly example will impact the girls she lives with as well as the kids she teaches and that she will be used to draw them into a closer walk with Him!
On Tuesday, we were thankful to get the call that we could come pick up this little girl who has been in the hospital in the capital after she arrived in stage 3 of starvation.
Milagros is back with us and it is such a blessing to see her begin to fill out and to see some life back in her eyes! She is already a charmer and loving the attention she gets from her siblings and the staff and kids!
Please continue to be prayerful for Jenna who is caring for Milagros and her siblings. Pray that Milagros continues to "catch-up" quickly in her development and that the effects of her neglect and malnutrition will be turned around. Pray that God will keep His hand on this little girl and accomplish the purpose He has for her, not only now, but in the years to come as she grows to learn about Him and His great love for her. Praise God for His faithfulness already in her life and for bringing her here where she will have an opportunity to thrive and come to know Him!
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:
