God is working in the hearts of our girls!!!! Prayers are being answered! No, it isn't always obvious and you have to look carefully at times to see the difference. But it is there: in the response to love being shown to her, an attitude change after some reminders, waiting till last(instead of making sure she is the first in line), being attentive in devotions, an honest attempt to do what is right, opening her heart to friendships...
In thinking how far these girls have come... Wow, they have changed! But they have soo far to go, before they will really be able to go home and stand for what is right. Esp. with them being so young and so much influence and peer pressure in their home areas, it is easy for them to do, exactly what "they" want to do. But I fully believe that with the work of the Holy Spirit, God can change these girl's hearts! To become ladies that are willing to share what God did in their lives, and make a difference in their home areas.

(Yes, we have our crazy girls :) this is Magdalene)
We need prayers...
It seems that in every way Satan is trying to tear things apart here: visions, dreams, unity, friendships... He knows that if these girls really get to know who God is, they will make an impact on many people! And so he targets those around them, those that are working with them directly. And distracting and discouraging us, is just what he wants to happen.
This little note was so encouraging to us! God is working in Linda's heart. She gave it to Ang after she had given Linda a punishment. Coming from this little lady... a miracle!
Dear Angela
Hello dear, How are you? I love you (even though) you punished me today. That made me to want to be mad at you. Angela I love you. I want you to know that. I am going to obey you. Before you even punished me, I started crying, I felt like I did not love you. But I love you very much Angela.
When you come to do art class with us, come sit by me.
