The Magic Seed

There are so many reasons we would like to stay in this neighborhood, one of the biggest is our gate guard and his family. He is SO good with our girls, in the small ways. Today Abigail planted a seed in a cup, hoping to grow a mispero tree. (They have really yummy fruits which I don't know the English name of.) Well, fancy that - the tree is already two inches high. Apparently Francisco found a sapling and came over after dark and put it in the cup for her. She is going to freak out in the morning.
On the same line of liking their family, please pray for them. They don't make very much money here, even though they work all day, and their son Maynor needs to start school soon. If they can't find a school in the area that they can afford (which they don't think they can) Alba (wife) and Maynor will have to move back to their home town 3 hours away or so while Francisco stays here to work. We are going to be helping them do some research when we have time, and are praying that they are able to stay together. Please join us in that prayer.
Well, off to bed (even though it's only 8 - how lame is that!)
