Look After

If you have been to stay with us as Casa Mana, then you know Karla and Estella our two ladies who make our wonderful meals and clean up our messes and pretty much anything else that we ask them to do.  These ladies work hard to make your stay here comfortable and enjoyable.  They enjoy giving the "gringos" a taste of Guatemala and also learning about the groups who come here.

These ladies have not led easy lives and unfortunately things continue to be difficult for them and their children.  The latest tragedy happened just a few months ago when Karla's younger brother was hit by a car and killed. 

As we wait for the orphans we will be caring for in our new home we have been meditating on the verse James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."  There may not be any orphans in our home as of yet but there are still people in need of love all around us every day.  We pray that God will continue to make our hearts sensitive to those needs.
