Update on Joemmy & Jami

Thank you so much for your prayers this past weekend!  We know they are making a difference.  Thank you, too, to those of who offered financial help.  Right now we are exploring different possibilities, and if that is part of what is needed, we’ll be sure to let you know. 

Thanks so much for caring about these precious children!  Joemmy did spend the weekend with the other Joemy, and it seems to have gone well.  Despite saying she didn’t have room, their aunt, Francia, did let Jami spend nights with her.  Both seemed their normal sweet, happy selves when we saw them in El Callejon today.

This morning Daisy spent time talking with Francia about the situation with her niece and nephew.  She does love them, and they love her, too.  She still feels she does not have room for them, however. 

So, we’ll keep seeking other solutions, including if there may be a way to keep them in El Callejon.  Over the weekend, both Daisy and I (independently of each other) began to question moving the kids from El Callejon. 

Clearly, we know the situation needs to be improved, but we also know these children have already suffered the loss of their mom.  To lose their home, friends, and community would be another blow.  Please help us to continue to discern the Holy Spirit’s guidance in next steps.

Tomorrow Daisy and Francia are taking Jami to the doctor and possibly the dentist, too.  He seems a little nervous, but was smiling and curious about all the goings-on at the Site, as usual.  We wanted to share a couple of pictures so you can see who you are praying for.  They really show the bond that these two have!

Thanks again for your continued intercession.  We take comfort in knowing that we are not alone – and neither are Joemmy and Jami!
