But before that, Damaris was born. She doesn't live here in San Juan, but we love her, her parents Alex and Liz, and big sister Bethany. They are our wonderful missionaries to Turkey! We pray for them each week and keep up on their news. We were delighted that Damaris' grandma from Mexico City was with them for the birth and spent a few days getting to know her granddaughter!
Then along came Jenna Hope O'Brien, whose parents are Tim and Michelle. We had a very fun baby shower for her last Friday and we passed around that beautiful little one and were glad she didn't object! And what a joy to have Julie O'Brien, Tim's mom from Pennsylvania, along! It's always fun to visit with her!
At the baby shower we all had unusual names: Crib, cribsheet, talcum powder, baby tub, etc. You get the picture! It was really hard to remember everyone´s name!
Pin the sucky (or binky - or whatever you call it!) on the baby!!

Next came Josías Aaron (Josiah Aaron). Several of us visited with him and his mama, Cruz, this afternoon, spending some time singing and praying with her. And how wonderful to hear her testimony of the way God protected her - and Josías! He was born with the cord wound around his neck THREE times, so he´s truly a miracle baby! And he´s beautiful. Big Brother Emmanuel (age 9!) is delighted to have a little brother! And, yes, I took along a gift for Big Brother too!
And who´s next? Brenda´s baby. He/she isn´t born yet, is due in April. Brenda is only 16 and her mom Linda is very active in our women´s group. Brenda and her husband attend another church, but we´re planning a baby shower for her in the near future!
So many babies!
