Great stuff is still happening!

Buenas noches! I am sitting here a few minutes before bedtime, watching Rebekah play cards with a couple of the boys. A large team arrived yesterday- 26 people! The kids are having a good time with them, and we made lots of progress this morning, clearing tree branches out of the construction area. A small team of guys continued work on demolishing a gate from the outside street into the construction area, and it looks like that will be done soon, so that they can bring in trucks to haul off all the rocks. We have teams now through the rest of the summer. Thank God for all of these willing workers, and please pray for the team's work here this week. Pray that they would stay healthy and be safe, especially during construction; that they can minister effectively to the children; and everything goes smoothly as they leave at the end of the week and another team prepares to come.
We have one update on Pedro, one of the boys from Sobre el Puente who we have written about before. He was living at Sobre el Puente briefly, but left after having a fight with one of the other boys. April and Rebecca saw him Saturday when they were out in town. They didn't get to talk to him for long because he was with a bunch of his friends, but they told him that they had missed him at Sobre el Puente, and that they hoped he would come back. Please pray that God will continue to work on his heart and remind him that he is loved and welcome at Sobre el Puente.
Finally, pray for us as we enter our last two weeks here at Casa Hogar. It has been a wonderful summer so far, and we know that God will continue to do amazing things in the next two weeks. It is amazing how quickly six weeks have gone by! Pray that we will persevere to the end and be content at the end of the summer, knowing the work we have done will be fruitful according to the Lord's plan. Once again, thank you for all of your prayers!
