The Swine Flu the US press is covering so broadly has thus far avoided Casa Hogar La Familia in Tehuacan. Please pray that the Lord will continue to protect the children there.
Keep in mind also, that as of Thursday of this week, April 30, the World Health Organization has confirmed only 97 cases in the entire country of Mexico where approximately 106 million people live.
I spoke with Robert Sawyer today and he reported that there have only been four cases reported in Colima and all four have been released from the hospital.
I will keep everyone posted each time I speak with someone who is in communication with La Familia.
Several mission teams have canceled their planned mission trips to La Familia. Just two days ago, a large team of 30 missioners postponed their trip to La Familia until 2010.
While the odds are quite low that anyone would be infected, I can totally understand why teams are erring on the side of caution.
With so few mission teams, La Familia is going to be sorely lacking in both workers to help put the finishing touches on the new hogar in Palmarito as well as love offerings for the directors and staff. Please pray that this health scare will end soon and that the children and the home itself will not be too adversly affected as a result of so few mission teams.
