A not so happy ending to a wonderful story

Maely is now back in her village in the remote highlands of Honduras.  Unfortunately her last days here in the US were not as pleasant as we had originally planned and she was ill prepared for the emotional impact of her re-entry to her old world.  We had hoped she could spend some time back up here with us in Washington so we could prepare her to return to her 18th century world.  We had hoped to accompany her all the way back to her village and then spend a week with her there helping her to readjust.   Unfortunately we live in an imperfect world and as a result, Maely was sent back to Honduras accompanied by a perfect stranger and given no preparation for the physical, emotional and spiritual struggles that lay ahead.
We will be returning to her village next month and we will provide an update on her condition when we return.  We will also share the plans that God has made to bless her village with abundant clean water, and better health, education and economic development opportunities because of HIS love for this little girl who was the village outcast.  Please be in prayer for Maely.  If we are able to make contact with her before we return next month, we will update the blog.
