Juan has got his
smile back. Say cheese!
Chad and I pitched
in to fix his teeth. Now they are real pirty. Muy bonitas in español.
Chad and I got a day
off and enjoyed it online. I did some school stuff and talked with friends and
family. I cannot believe that I will see most of them in a little more than 2
months. Time is a’ cruisin’ by.
The truck left
around 4 p.m., but Chad and I decided to stay. I wanted to skype a little more,
so Chad called his contact. He knew this taxi guy that said he would give us a
ride home for just 10 Bs each at 8 p.m. I was skeptical but agreed to try it
out. I was right, it was too good to be true.
The guy arrived
punctually at 8 o’ clock to pick us up. However, he wanted 30 Bs. Chad was
understandingly frustrated and said no. We decided to stay the night since it
would only cost another 20 Bs. As we walked away, two guys came up and asked
how much we would pay. I said 20. He said, “Because you work for the children,
I will gladly give you a ride. But usually it is way more than 30 Bs at
nighttime.
We had a pleasant
ride and the guy kept talking about how he wants to found his own orphanage. He
returned us and told us that we can call him anytime. We just might. We will do
anything for more time with friends and family in town.
When we arrived home
it was Emy’s Birthday! She is two years old now and in perfect health. God has
answered prayers by keeping her healthy. She is turning out to be quite the
princess over our 12 boys.
