Life in Los Cedros.

It has been a while since I have posted and to be honest life has just been life around here the past few weeks. I have been building some storage rooms inside of a large storage shed to protect the items from rats and dust the past week and just working more and more with the boys, trying to shape them into men.

Julio's kid Michael went to the doctor on Thursday and he has another appointment to go back for another exam on Monday. I am hoping this process will come to an end soon but like all things in nicaragua, they are slow and normally even slower than you expect.

Tara and Jennifer, two girls i went to college with, have been here at the orphanage for almost a month now. It has been the best thing to have people that i am already familiar with and can relate to. Just having 2 people freshly out of college operating and thinking on similar wave levels is awesome. This has been a huge answer to prayer seeing as though before Christmas there was a large community gap here at the orphanage.

I promise to get some pics of Michael up sometime this week. FYI if you don't know Michael is Julio's kid who is nearly deaf but 6 years old so he cannot talk. Some of my friends and family while i was in the states gave me some money to buy him a hearing aid.
