New Arrivals

Jimmy is 12 years-old, and for the past 3 years, has cared and protected his two younger sisters. When the governmental organization came to pick up his two sisters, he said that he had to go with them wherever they sent them. Jimmy is in third grade and likes to play soccer and swim.

Mangy : 8 years-old. She has problems hearing and speaking. She likes to play with dolls.

Tania: 6 years-old. She likes to swim.

Oscar: 4 years-old. He’s very happy and likes to play quietly.

Their mother died in 2005. Grandma is too old to work , and cannot take care of them. As of yet, Guillermo has been unable to successfully locate other family members for these children. Until then, the children will remain under his care and GCP provide the safe and stable environment they need.

Happy Children

We received an update on the 3 children that have returned to family. They are living with their loving Grandmother, and she is doing everything she can to provide for them. Every night she reads to the children out of the Book of Mormon that Doug gave them when he was there volunteering. Guillermo says there is lots of love in the home and the kids are happy with their grandma.
On a side not: One day Deanna and Estuardo were outside when they saw two missionaries walk by. They yelled out and ran over to say hi. They told them that they went to the mormon church when they were in Chimaltenango at the orphanage. They begged the missionaries to come to their home to meet their grandma. She is now taking the discussions and both she and the oldest child plan to be baptized very soon!!

We are so happy to hear the kids are doing well and their Grandma loves them so much. Guillermo will continue to follow up with their progress for many months to come. We look forward to those updates!!
