Quick summary of what is going on at the Fulp home in San
Antonio Aguas Calientes:
On May 12th, our family went to a
small local restaurant to celebrate Daryl’s 46th birthday. We had a great time and ate some very good,
but affordable, Guatemalan food. What a great family we have!
Then on May 24th, we celebrated Brittney’s 23rd birthday. Krishauna decorated a beautiful penguin cake, complete with snowballs and an igloo. (Wow! Our kids are getting old!)
June 10th
was Krishauna’s 22nd birthday.
Since she is not living with us right now, we did not see her that day,
but when she came home the next weekend, we were able to celebrate together. Krishauna is enjoying her time at
Casa Bernabe. She serves as a helper in
one of the boys’ homes. She has 14 boys
from 5-10 years of age, and many of them present daily challenges to Shauna
and to the house parents. These are 14 boys who have lost their parents due to death or neglect or abuse. So they need to learn how to love others and
how to be loved by others. I’m sure
Krishauna would appreciate your prayer
support.
Then, on June 13th, Teisha celebrated
her 20th birthday. She is also living away from home right now,
so we are unable to celebrate with her.
But she
is living with a wonderful family (Sam and Debra Silvers) in
Troy, Ohio, and they gave her a great day. 
Last month we had the privilege of babysitting three little girls (8 year old twins and their 3 year old little sister) for four days. We had some challenges, but I bonded with them. Now they are back in their home about 3 hours away from us, and I miss them.
Carissa is home from Uganda!
It is so wonderful to have her home for a short time. She had a great 5 months in Africa. After a rocky start, God worked in her and
grew in her a love for the Ugandan people and culture. Now she can hardly wait to get back
there. Her plans are to head to the
States soon to begin speaking and fundraising for her long-term ministry in
Africa. (Please let her know if you are interested in having her speak at your church, youth group, or small group.) She seeks to open a home for
special needs girls there in Uganda.
More details coming soon.
We are STILL waiting for the license for our group home. We really don't know why it is taking so long. It seems like there is a hold on all the homes that are presently working toward a license. So we are waiting…sometimes not very patiently. Please pray for God’s will to be done in His timing. We know that His timing is best.
Team season is upon us.
We have quite a few teams coming this summer. We are so blessed that God has given us a
house that is set up perfectly to be able to host teams on the second level of
our home. And I am blessed to have a
full-time worker, and friend, in the home who will be a huge help in hosting the teams and running the group home.
Dale and Anita Beyer and their family are here! We had a wonderful time sharing our home with
them for a little over two weeks. We had
a very full and joyful (and noisy) table at meal times. They have now moved out of our house and into
their house just a short walk from ours.
What a blessing they are to our ministry and to our family!
Rainy season is also upon us.
For about 4 more months, or so, our typical day will likely bring us an
afternoon downpour that may last as little as 30 minutes or as long as several
hours. This brings new challenges to
drying our laundry on the roof and navigating the streets to shop for fresh
fruits & vegetables and/or pick up the bus to Antigua. However, it also enhances the beauty of the
mountains and trees and flowers.
What a wonderful God we serve!
