Masbely's grandmother died yesterday morning at age 86. She had been ill on and off for the past couple of months. They do not embalm bodies here so they had her wake last night and the funeral early this morning.
Gustavo is still in the hospital after 2 weeks and has not changed much this week. He is able to eat solid foods but still has a lot of pain doing so so it is a struggle for them to get him to eat. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
Carlos Mauricio seems much happier here now. He was extremely sad on Sunday when his Grandmother did not show up to take him home as he convinced himself she would. He continued throwing up after eating most of the week, but I don't think he threw up yesterday or today so that may be a big bridge he has crossed. If so, he will move into our house soon. He now says that he wants to stay here rather than going home.
Josue has still been a disappointment to all as he has not found a job and really is not trying. There are jobs available but he is too picky about what he can and cannot do and the cannot list seems to be endless. He spends mosts of his days hanging out in the neighborhood and Masbely finally banned him from coming to the casa to hang out because he was begging money from the employees and setting a bad example for the kids by not working. He was told he is welcome to come back and visit any time once he starts working. Please pray for some motivation, responsibility and self discipline for him. He is a sad, tough situation for us.
Rob sent me a photo if Isaac taken at the beach on July 7th and the other photo is of him a couple weeks ago. Quite a big change in his face. I remember him throwing up shortly after eating the ice cream at the beach that day. Hopefully his brother Carlos will make the same progress as him.
