God is so good! The worst of the test has passed and now I have entered into the blessing! God has been doing some wonderful and miraculous things for the Deaf school.
People are always coming to the house. Sometimes I understand them and sometimes not. Pastor Carlos Reyes was here painting the room for Vivian and a couple of men showed up. I had already gotten ready for bed and told them I couldn't come out to talk so Pastor Carlos talked with them. I found out the next day that it was the Govenor of the state of Hato Mayor. He was so impressed with the school and the work with the Deaf children that the next day he came with shoes, backpacks, vitamins and more tables and chairs for the children!!! He had people with him taking pictures and video taping. He asked me to explain about the school and they video taped it. I didn't know it at the time but the tape was for the television program. They have played that tape over and over again. This has stirred up more interest in the school. A few days later two psychologists from the Dept. of Education showed up offering any help that they could give to us and also asking if three of their people could come and train. They are very interested in helping Deaf children get an education in Hato Mayor. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
I KNOW THAT THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THOSE WHO ARE PRAYING FOR ME!
Vivian is now here and I put her to work already. Thank God that I have someone to share with in English and she is such a willing servant of God. She brought tons of materials for the school as well as some funds from her ministry in Canada, "Hearing Hearts".
I am doing well physically and eating better now. I have made lots of Dominican friends and the people of the church are very kind and caring. I thank God each and every day for sending me here.
I now have twelve children and they are learning sooooooo fast! We are only one month into the school and they are signing already and just absorbing everything they can!
I have two little boys that have both been almost literally living on the street. One little guy lives with his grandmother but she goes to work everyday and just leaves him to himself. No food and not supervision. He has been wandering the streets looking for food and getting into trouble. He is now in the school and he loves it! The other boy's mom could not control him so she just turned him out to the street each day. He is here and also very happy to be with us and learning very fast. Without this school what would happen to these children? I am also teaching them about God and His wonderful love for them.
God bless you all and please continue to pray!
