Greetings and blessings in the name of our wonderful Lord Jesus. I pray each of you are doing well and blessed beyond measure. Thank God we are in on eve of Spring and hopefully headed to some warm weather. God is so good to us.

We were supposed to leave this morning for Guatemala to work with our staff, take care of business and do other things God has put on hearts heart. I had a very small cancer on my arm (basil cell carcinoma) a week and a half ago which the Doctor took off and said it would be fine. I am sure there are some of you who have had that same thing at some point. Everything went fine, for a couple of days. But, as you well know, things do not always go well with me! Anita often says, “If anything can be a challenge with Danny, it will!”

After being at the Doctor every 2 days, I continue to go, and they do wound care at his office. I am still on strong antibiotics for a couple of weeks. It has been painful, but God is helping me. I had to cancel our trip for this week. I do not want to expose it to possible infection. This is the week of Mardi Gras here “south of I-10,” so Anita has the week off for us to go work. As always, I do not understand why things are difficult for me. But as the God’s Word says in 2 Corithians 9-10, “ And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” God still works all thing good for me.

I wrote the 2nd page of this letter about a week when I had not decided to make the trip to Guatemala. We will do as much as we can remotely with our wonderful staff. With your help, we will hire workers to build the “casitas” for these little families. Things in Guatemala so expensive, specially building materials and food for widows and children. We need God’s people to help in a special way to meet these needs. Please pray so much for that.

I cannot thank those of you who are so faithful to the work of the Lord Jesus through DLEA. You are why every child we feed and educate, every widow we bless with food, and every little family whose lives are changed with shelter and warmth, are a testament to love you have for Jesus. Thank you from them and us. Great blessings to you! Please continue to pray often for me.

This ministry continues to make a difference in the lives of children and little families with the help of God’s people like YOU! Here are a couple of them.

Yaquelin Licet Gonzáles and Rodrigo Hernández have 2 children: Salomón Enriquez 9 years old and Jonathan Hernández 2 years old. Yaquelin cares for the children and Rodrigo is a block mason when there is any work. When Yaquelin can make any money from odd jobs, she contributes to the family. On a good month they make less than $80/week. Yaquelin's mother inherited a piece of land where can live in a “casita” of their own. At the moment they live with her mother so that they will not pay rent. Yaquelin's father died a few years ago. Her father took his own life because things are so difficult in Guatemala. He left the family in great distress and the family fights hard to care for themselves. Life would be better with the help of a DLEA “Casita.”

Nancy Gonzales, 28 years old, and her husband Rolando age 27, have 3 children: Meida Analley 8 years old, Selvin Daria age 2, and a newborn baby. She worked as a housekeeper and was in charge of cleaning. But she did not have anyone to care for her children and she had to quit. She lived for a few months in a rented room with her mother, siblings, her husband and children. Some time ago they had family problems and Nancy's mother decided to move in with another man. Currently Rolando is the one who supports the home as a bootmaker and does not have steady income. Nancy and Rolando decided to go live on a piece of land that she inherited from her father. The lamina on the house they are living in is in poor condition and they are afraid for the family’s health with the approaching rainy season. This little family has petitioned DLEA for a “casita” so the family will have a safe, dry and warm place to live.

Scores of children like these little guys are so filled with joy because they have an opportunity to grow “in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” because of the people of God who love Jesus and those He lives. Each passing year we are helping them develop to be men and women of faith with gifts, talents and skills that will be a force for God and contribute to their families and the society that surrounds them. It is an investment in the Kingdom of God! THANK YOU so much for being a partner with us. May God bless you immensely for your love. Pray often for me.
