Dear Christian Friends,

Greetings in the name of Our Lord and Saviour. I hope this


letter finds all of you well and v^orking for the Lord.
The children are back in school after a nice long vacati.on.
Thanks to all of you Christmas was really a nice one. On the
13th of December Kathy and I made a trip to the border to bring
back packages that had been sent. To our surprise, there was
much more than we could possibally bring back. The most impor
tant things were the wrapped Christmas gifts. We loaded the
van as full as we could, and started back. At the border, tijey.
said they would let us inbutwe probably wouldn't get past the
first check point. The check poin: is located 22 kilometers
past the border and is noted for being hard to get through.
Katliy and I prayed for 22 kilometers. We pulled into the check
point, they looked at our papers arid waved us on. They didn't

even look in the van,

The Lord literally closed their eyes.

We arrived back in San Luis with a load from Santa Claus,

Santa

is not as popular here as in the states so the children know


their gifts came from Christian brethren in the States. Thank
you very much to each one who had a part in making this Christ-

mas a Merry one.

Miguel started therapy classes around the second week of


November, He is receiving shock treatments and massages in his
legs. We can really see progress, he is actually taking steps
while holding on to someone. It's an accomplishment for him.
Praise the Lord for the miracle which has taken place with
Miguel. Miguel is blind and was dying of malnutrition two
years ago. As you can tell he is behind for a four year old,

but he has come such a long way.

Please remember him in your

prayers,

Pat is back after her leave of two monthsin the states.

Kathy has also returned, after spending Christmas with her

family in Virginia.

We thank the Lord for their safe journey.

So far we have not had a yery cold winter.


It's fairly
cool at night but by midday if is actually hot. Around Christmas a few of the children had ctolds but nothing serious. At

this time all are well.

Thank you so much for your prayers,

they are being answered.


I hope that each and ever>' one of you had a very Merry
Christmas and continue to have a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I I!!!!
When we think back about the year that has now come and
gone. And about all the many blessings the Lord has sent our
way throughout 1977. We can: t^uthfully say it was a vejT
year here at Casa de Ninos, the Lord blessed us with CTEoul^e^^

(which we thank-him for every ^ay). V/e also have our


and ninelL&eji loveiy^jcMldren; wh ich are a blessing in themselves
The girB'atest blessing oF~ari is friends like all of you , who
through God have made Casa de h inos possible.

We thank you

with all our hearts and know tjie Lord will bless you!
I leave )ip\i with this thought;

When things go wrong a^ life takes on


A disappointing trend

I do not sigh Or weep, but I

Remember you, my frien<^s.


I keep my courage and ipy faith
Because i know that Yop

Have shown me how the gravest sky


Can turn to one of blue.

Your smile has ^lustr^ted that


This world is not in vain,
And confidence is all i need

To keep= away the rain, i

r contemplate the kindly words ,

That you have; said to r|i3,

:j

And measure every mpment small

Against; eternity- - anc(


i feel as though my,

len

Has reached the'rainlipif s end.


And all .the ,graltitude 131 me

Belongs to you - MY FR4):NDS;.


In Gpds Love,
