My Blog entry is a little late this week....I have my hands VERY full with our 3 Foster Children!!! They are coping very well with the exception that they are not used to being corrected. Up to this point they have been basically "raising themselves" so they were used to doing whatever they wanted and when they wanted to do it!!! This is the case with the majority of the children around here. Monday evening Zack (the 4 1/2 yr. old) got mad at Lily (the 2 1/2 yr. old) and hit her in the hand with a small pitchfork they had been using to dig up worms for a fishing trip......we ended up in the ER where she got stiches right above her wrist. Zack is gong to be having surgery on his ears....at the Dr. visit last week we found out because of the parents medical neglect......he cannot hear at all out of one ear and is almost deaf in the other. This surgery had been scheduled two other times in 2009 but the parents never kept the appts. Hopefully this will help and he will be able to hear and learn to talk clearly.
July 4th had an effect on our morning service...but we still had 22 present. On Sunday evening we had a cookout and enjoyed the time of fellowship. Later we enjoyed the fireworks show that the tribe does each year along with all the other fireworks that individuals were shooting. One thing for sure, the people here in Cannon Ball spend ALOT of money on Fireworks!!! LATE Saturday night (around midnight) we were woke up by the fireworks show at Kelly's (the bar across the street).
Please pray for us as we care for our 3 Foster Children. Thank Your for your love and support.
