Prayer requests
Hard to believe that I have just a few weeks left here. 5 weeks and then I head home. Wow...time sure does fly. I'm already 5/6ths of the way done. Time goes way to fast. But that leads into my first prayer request. As my time here draws near to the end it's easy to loose sight of why I am here. It's getting hard to focus on the here and present and not about home. Its been hard not to become homesick thinking that soon I will be able to spend time with my munchkins soon. The other gringo that was here with me recently went home and it's making me want to go home. Some days I just want to go home and other days I don't want to leave here. I am praying that I will let God use me in these last 5 weeks the way that He wants to use me and not become focused on just going home.
Another prayer request that I have is, I have been having stomach issue for the past 2 weeks. Lets just say it started off really bad and has slowly been getting better over the weeks. I have figured out that if I eat breakfast in the morning I am going to have stomach issue the rest of the day. So I've been skipping breakfast...but that causes other problems because if I don't eat a good breakfast each day I tend to get headaches and don't have energy. So yes...I'm having problems all around with this. I told Susi that if I didn't know any better it would seem like I am pregnant. But that is so not the case. She has me on some antibiotics, thinking that it is some type of bug/worm. So hopefully they start working fast.
Another prayer request I have is for Chio. She has chronic back pain and recently it has started to flare up really bad again. She has had surgery on her back in the past and has recently had 2 MRI's. The first one had conflicting information so they did the second one. But they haven't gotten the results back from the second one. There are some days that she can hardly move because the pain is so bad. It has gotten better but there are still days that aren't good days. She feels bad because she has a little 3 yr old and it's hard to keep up with him when she is in so much pain. We have had many conversations about how she feels like such a bad mom because she can hardly walk from the bed to the couch some days. That Caleb will feel like she doesn't love him because she can't play with him.
The last prayer request is for Alvin and Chio. They have been trying to get a visa to visit the states. This week they need to decide if they are going to try again. They had the money but then had to use part of it to pay for Chio's MRI. So to apply for the visa is going to cost them around $600, which they don't really have. They have applied for a visa before and were denied it. Which means they lost the money. So this time around they have to decide if it is worth the risk of applying again. They would really like to visit and try and raise some more money for Renuevos. Pray for guidance and if this is the right time for them to apply to get the visas
