Airport Orphanage and Dump

Here I am with Lucy at the orphanage near the airport. She's there with her 2 year old brother.

This is Paloma. Last year when we came to this orphanage Paloma was there. It's so special to see them grow!

Here Tiffany is showing the children the optical illusion tract by Ray Comfort. People loved those tracts!

The day that we went to the orphanage was Minerva's 14th birthday! She had one birthday card that she was carrying around with her everywhere. She told us and we all sang happy birthday to her and made a special flower balloon. The Lord prompted me to give her something, but we didn't have anything with us! She takes care of the babies day in and day out and today is just "another day". I didn't have any earrings on, no jewelery except a promise ring from my dad that I've had for 8 years. The Lord had me give it to her and it was SO special!
In this picture I still have it on...this was right before I gave it to her and we left. She was beaming with delight! Praise the Lord!!!

Here we were visiting with people living/working in the garbage dump.

This is Maria, she's 16 years old and has a 4 month old baby that her 14 year old sister was watching at home. She doesn't have a husband and works in the dump making every peso she can to feed herself and her baby. We were able to purchase some clothing for Maria and her baby and introduce them to the missionary pastor's wife. She invited them to the mission and they said they will come.

Here you can see the vultures and people going through the trash. Rodolfo put it well, "they wait for the garbage like it's candy!"
