Warren family update

Hello everyone!! We are well, and we hope you are too!!!!!!

We've had a very busy couple of weeks! First, a group of 32 young adults from a discipleship school called Kairos were here for a couple of weeks, and we had a great time with them! Andy took a trip to the mountains as Mak and I stayed back and held down the fort at home! It was our first time at our house without Andy, and God blessed us with peace and no fears! That was quite a blessing for mom! :)

We now have the money to replace our roof! We are praising God for the blessing. Right now, it has been raining a lot, so we really need to replace it soon. The plan is to purchase materials this week andput it on as soon as we have a couple of dry days. We are SO excitedto not have to cover everything before leaving the house! THANK YOU GOD!

Mak is doing really well. Yesterday, for lunch, I made her “buy” all of the items to make her jelly sandwich, chips and glass of water. She is learning about Pennies, Nickels, Dimes and Dollar Bills… their value and what they are called. She has had a hard time relating as to which is what, so I figured for her to get out her play money and buy all needed for lunch would help! Now, however, every time she eats, she asks if she needs to “buy” it. We better be careful, a team may come down and hear her say that and think we are LITERALLY making her buy stuff to eat! Oh wow!

Andy is headed to the mountains tomorrow to purchase some coffee from one of the growers, and I always look forward to hearing what God does with his time there. I am praying that the coffee looks great, and that God would continue to use Andy through the coffee!

I am keeping busy in the Mercy International office, and am almost caught up on
the months that we were gone to the US! I am excited toget 2010 out from under my nose and put into the box! :) Last weekend, we received a call from a couple that the wife is American and the husband is Honduran. They asked if Mak and I wanted to go tothe park, and we had a great time! (I got a little sunburn, but still enjoyed my time!) See a picture with Andy and Sofia attached eating their suckers!

So, for those of you getting this from Grace Church, I want to make a little plug... June 21st – 28th, Grace will be bringing a team down to see us! I also know that there are a few ladies receiving this from last fall’s Beth Moore study – I am sure that you guys could hook up with Grace to come down if you so desire…. Just write me back and I will get you contact information for the leaders! We would love to have you all here! (Hey mom, maybe this year!!!????)

Also, I want to tell you guys about something else going on that needs some “extra special prayer”. We have twin babies that were brought to the farm a few days ago. They were 2.5 pounds each, a boy and a girl. Their mother was sick in the hospital, and they were being cared forby other family members. After a trip to the pediatrician that we trust, Mercy has taken on the cleaning of bottles (two different ways) and the giving of CLEAN water for their bottles. These little babies are only living through the grace of God, and we are so blessed to see them growing slightly. Would you please pray for them? I am attaching a picture of one next to the hand of Cindy Lowman just to give you an idea of how small they are.

We are so blessed, and always love hearing from you all! We wish youthe best week and thank you as always for your prayers!
