Angells in Peru

Last year 2007 from January to July we were at a job in Lima, Peru. When I decided to start the blog I wanted all of our family to be included, and so I put all of our locations in the title. Some of you may have wondered why I listed Peru since we are no longer living there. Well Everette and I left part of our hearts there with a little girl we met while visiting the New Life Children's Home that was part of the church we attended while in Peru. Many of you already know of Maria and that we are praying about adopting her. It seems that many things look favorable and we ask that all of you help us pray that God will take control of this situation and work it for his will to be done. We have a friend who is an attorney in Peru, and Brother Mike Kennedy who founded the church and children's home to help us there. God is his amazing ways has also crossed our paths here in Argentina with someone willing to help us. If you remember in my last post about the house I referred to the owner, Mr. Testone as an attorney. The first day I met him in person and learned that he was an attorney I ask him about adoptions between Argentina and Peru. He kindly agreed to look into it for us. The next week when having a meeting about the house Mr. Testone told us that he had a little information for us, that it is possible to adopt from Peru. He also told us that he was very close friends with the Argentinian Ambassador to Peru, and he too would do what he could to help us. Our greatest desire is that God's will for this sweet little girl be done. Whether it is for us or some other family to adopt her. There is a website you can visit to see the children's home and get information on how you can help with the ministry there. Brother Mike and his family are in the states right now trying to raise more support for the home so they can take more children because they are being called everyday and ask to take more babies. Many of these babies are found abandoned in parks, on buses, or in trash.



This is Maria Fe (Faith). The first day we visited the children's home she made a streak across the floor to Everette and held up her arms to him. Needless to say he was smitten and so was she. When we had to go she cried and cried when he put her down. Over the next 5 months the bond just got stronger, and he started spoiling her. In one of the pictures you can see her eating a cheese doodle, in another you can see her spitting out her regular food. Can you guess who gave her the cheese doodle?, before she had eaten her lunch? In another picture you can see her reaching for something, she is reaching toward the swings, wanting Everette to swing her. We always enjoyed spending time with her and it was heartbreaking to leave, Please help us pray for her and all the children there in New Life Children's Home.
Maria Fe is our little Angell in Peru.
