It was revealed to us after a routine check-up, that Luis had lost quite a bit of his hearing in his left ear earlier in the year. Apparently earlier in his childhood, he had suffered some trauma in the inner-ear which caused the ear drum to tear. The doctor recommended that he be operated on for the situation not to deteriorate any more. Please pray, as Luis Fernando continues to recover, & that God would heal his hearing through the surgery.
Our intent w/ our Bolivia blog is simply to keep everyone better informed about what is going on in our lives and ministry here in Bolivia. We would love to hear your ideas, comments, suggestions, words of encouragement for us or our kids, and finest jokes, so please leave us a comment whenever you get a chance!

Luis Fernando
15 year-old, Luis Fernando (picture above,) from the boys' restoration home, 'El Camino' last week, went through some pretty serious ear surgery to repair his ruptured, left ear drum. The surgery went well according to the ear, nose & throat specialist and Luis Fernando is back recovering at El Camino.
