Techinical Difficulties

WE LOVED Getting to see Ellie in motion! She was pretty quiet during the segment they taped of her, but we got bonus footage of her in the background when they were talking to the older children. She wizzes in and out of the shot in a baby walker and you can see her peeking in to see what is going on. A little while later, she gets braver and comes in for a closer look. :) My IT support team was having a little trouble with the Windows Vista Movie maker, so we will try to get her segment up and going when possible. I won the armwrestle for publishing rights, or at least we will both post the video:) ! We were slightly worried we would not be sure it was her, but we both spotted her right away. Life at the children's home seems lively and happy. It is not an ideal situation in a perfect world, but I am so thankful for those care givers. They really seem to love what they are doing and it shows in the children. Those "Mamas", as they are called, seem to have at least the first portion of James 1:27 down, "Religion that is pure, undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction..."
So please continue to bear with us and pray for us to get started in Guat soon!
