Hola from Jarabacoa!
(Amanda with the children)
Several things have been happening recently.
We thank God for the safety through the recent tropical storm, and we also thank God for His protection of the students and their families. Much devastation has occurred in other places, and we continue to pray for those areas.

We are currently in the midst of stabilizing a place to rent and will possibly move in December or the beginning of January. This place has a nice patio and yard for the kids and more room in general. We thank God for this place and for this blessing.
Right now college students (Amanda, Kristin, Gretchen, Megan, and Michaela) in the new semester program with Students International from Bethel College in Indiana have been helping at the school. Three students are working with the classes, one student is working with physical therapy, and one student is working in the office.
Christmas time is here, as well. The Christmas decorations are being made and hung, and Christmas music is in the air. Amanda, one college student, has been helping the students learn a Christmas song, while she accompanies them on the guitar. Other college students and the teachers have been showing their creativity through the decorations.

Thank you so much for your continued prayers for the school here. God is working and using this school to minister to the community.
Please pray for the continued situation with our new building and for the rent to come into the budget.
(Alejandra, Gretchen, and Kristin)
