Andrea, the older sister who was visiting, is back in her orphanage now. We took her back today at noon and it was a somewhat somber ride. Will and I felt badly about taking her back to the institution-style facility, but we're trying to be very careful we don't upset the chemistry in our own family. It's a tough thing watch and to do nothing when you know you could change her life dramatically. However, we feel the request to bring her into our family has to come from within the family and not from Joyce, Will, or myself. In the meantime we pray that we have been able to give her some encouragement and some idea of what she can have if she stays close to God.
We did send her home with a new Bible and we checked carefully to be sure she had invited Christ into her heart and we feel confident that she has. As the Lord reminds you; lift Andrea in your prayers!
