A trip to the zoo
Friday January 15th: 
We had the pleasure of taking 19 of the older children to the zoo with a team that was visiting us on a short term mission trip. I was encouraged to see that the children were more settled on this field trip. For the most part, they were confident and relaxed, hooray! They are getting more accustomed to new environments.
We enjoyed lunch at McDonalds afterwards too! The children were exhausted when they got back, naptime was no problem! When they woke up they asked if they could go back to the zoo! We had a fun day, thanks guys n girls! Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Baby in critical condition
Tuesday Jan 5th 2010:
I recieved a call today to pick up a baby in critical need and take her to the hospital. The baby girl had no name, and we had no date of birth, or any other family info. We called her Maritza and she was estimated to be about 4 months old. She has the appearance of a newborn because she is suffering from severe malnutrition. I stayed overnight with her until one of our nannies could change shifts with me the next day. (The public hospitals here are very basic, you have to provide the caregiver and all the supplies: sheets, diapers, towels, soap, etc. ) Maritza had many tests, and is thought to have many serious illnesses to overcome. A long fight ahead of her, but we know that God is a God of healing and of miracles.
I know He has a plan for her life. I will keep you updated of her progress.
If this was an unusual case, it would be bad enough. But this is just one of many babies who suffer here in poverty struck Nicaragua. Innocent victims of circumstances, unable to speak up for themselves or defend themselves. This is why I am here. This is why I am here. No, it wasn't a typo, I just want you to know that I feel this so sincerely.
Martitza will be in hospital for about 10 days, she is weak, weighs only 10 lbs and cannot take more than an ounce of milk at a time.
Please PUSH: PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS!!
Thank you, with love In Christ, andrea.
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world
