Hi Folks,
Well there is a whole lot of shakin’ goin’ on, but we are safe in the hollow of His hand.
Psalms 62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my strong tower; I shall not be shaken.
Many of you know that I have a mild form of epilepsy and occasionally I have a petite mal seizure. I was out in the garden when the earth started moving and rolling under my feet so I thought I was having a small seizure until Ani came out in the yard and ask, “Mommy, why is our house moving?” We had a 30 second period of the earth rolling under our feet. The sugar jar fell from the top of the fridge, but did not break. So that was our big splash, followed by a few after shocks. I have learned that I do not like earthquakes. It has given me a healthy respect for the power of God.
I had the scan of my lung and was told by my doctor that if I did not hear from him, that was good news. I have not heard anything. Praise the Lord!
More good news: The lump under Juanita’s arm was a huge boil. She received medical attention and had to have a small surgery but she is healing well. Praise God !!!! No cancer.
Our boys have moved into their dorm room. Everything looks so clean and beautiful and colorful and the boys are very proud of their new room.
Construction is ongoing on the other side and should be completed soon. Then all the children will be on the same level, either in the new dorms or the big house.
We have a new thing going. We are now on Skype and can send and receive live face to face calls. We are hoping and praying that churches, home groups and organizations who cannot come to Mexico will want to “ visit” us in this manner. It is lots of fun and it gives you a chance to see some of the children and Ted and I for a few minutes. If you would like to set this up with us, just give us a call at 1 619 407 7499. That is our internet number. You will only be charged for a San Diego call but you will be talking to us in Mexico. Our Skype address is reniefaver.
Skype itself and the live call are free. You download it thru the internet and only need a webcam and a microphone which most computers nowadays already have or they can be purchased very inexpensively.
Matt. 18:19 "And I tell you more: whenever two of you on earth agree about anything you pray for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
We continue to need prayer for:
Continued hunger for the Lord, and His Word.
God’s wisdom
Sonia is in the hospital
Ruben’s behavior
Continued good health for Ted, me and the children.
One more smog-able, well running van, (12 passanger).
Finances so we can pay our faithful help.
Diapers, wipes and toilet paper.
Meat and protein items, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese.
Pediasure (current dated).
God bless you all,
Ted, Renie and the munchkins of Gabriel House.
