TRIP UPDATE

There is date change for my upcoming trip to Mexico. We will leave Louisville on Monday, May 24th...and return Monday, May 31st. We three travelers plan to make the trek without any stops...other than food & gas, of course. Did I happen to mention that it is a THIRTY HOUR drive? 30 HOURS. Please pray for us. Sean will not be making the journey this time. Someone has to stay home and take care of the Hlavaty zoo, right?

I am almost finished buying all of the fun things that I want to give/share with kids at the orphanage. I found several books written in both Spanish and English. I have supplies to paint the nails of 100+ young girls. And I have crayons and coloring books galore...for both boys & girls. I need to buy some candy and some beading supplies then I'm done. Promise.

I would like to take a cash donation to Ed & Rosa, the folks who run the orphanage. Any amount is a blessing and helpful to them. Please, if the Lord puts it on your heart to give, do so generously. I will deliver the money directly to Ed & Rosa and let them know how committed the people in my circle are to seeing them provide a safe, loving, Godly home for these children.

I've been studying Spanish just about every night for the past 2 weeks. It's coming along nicely. Rosetta Stone is a God send. I WILL be finished with level one before I leave for Chihuahua. According to Sean I'll learn a lot from the kids as well. CAN'T WAIT!
