Special prayer request...

A very special prayer request, and if you can get through this without tearing up, you get extra points. It's the type of story that gets Bryan to walk into our hotel room and call it gut wrenching. So here goes. The orphanage has been under construction for some time now and you may remember that I mentioned a new wing was being built for the HIV children who were living in a deplorable building (we stopped and delivered something there and saw only the outside. It wasn't good.). Anyway, the new wing is done and today these children moved into their new building! They also have access to some very nice areas as well. Anyway, during our visitation a nurse came out with a few of these children. They stay a little longer at this orphanage if they are HIV - until 5 years old. The nurse had just 4 children out, one fairly young and 3 others between 4 and 5 years old. They were kept (by law) away from where we were, but openly watched us and Esther and we smiled and waved several times. When we went to leave we asked our coordinator about them, if we were correct in thinking that they were the HIV children that had just moved to the building. He said yes and then said that there is one girl who is very angry with him. She knows that he brings parents and she keeps asking when he will bring parents for her. He keeps telling her he hopes he will bring some soon, but sometimes she gets very angry that he has not brought them yet. He said they do not know they have HIV, though one time one of them asked what that meant. They, by law, are kept seperated from the other children and not allowed to be in contact with them. He said that the children know about America and he has often seen them playing America. they will talk to each other in a funny made up language they say is English and say that they have parents waiting for them in America and their own bed and computer. One of these children is in the process of being adopted by a couple from California and this other girl is still waiting and still asking when he will bring her parents. She is 5 and will be moving soon to the older children's orphanage school. Please pray for parents for this little girl.
