Don't cry my friend. Thanks for your prayers. I was feeling overwhelmed last night but the Lord gave me the strength to cope with all this. No matter what the doctors say, I have great Faith in the Lord that He will pour his merciful hand on Felipe and heal him from this affliction. It could be much worst, there are kids with the same condition who cannot talk at all (Felipe slowly is developing his vocabulary), there are kids who cannot eat, or communicate in any way without help (Felipe is not like that) there are kids who are also physically handicapped besides having this problem (Felipe is 100% healthy). I am not asking too much, I just want the Lord to know that I want Felipe having a normal life, be baptized, serve a mission, study and marry in the Temple. That's my dream as a mom and I know He will help me accomplish this.
It is not easy but I know that with the prayers of everyone, we will be okay. I will also ask you specially to put our names in the Temple roll if is possible. Thanks everyone for your prayers.

Thanks Roz! I am far from strong and courageous but I do have the strong feeling (the Spirit) that with lots of work, Felipe will be just fine and able to accomplish anything he wants in life. I appreciate very much all the prayers.
I will be sure to add all to our family prayer as well as our small group this week.
I would like to uplift Blair a man I know who is inflicted deeply with addictions. Also for a resolution to his father's estate, Blair's brother will not respond to letters from the court and lawyers so that his father can be buried.
I want to ask for a special prayer and fasting for us, we are trying very hard in getting our own home, we desperately need it. We are saving and working very hard but because of the real estate situation in the country, only a miracle can get us a house in the shortest time possible. But I believe in them, the Lord have showed me time after time, that they exist. Please pray specifically that the Lord may open the doors and windows for us to get our own home as soon as possible. Thanks everyone.
As many of you know I am a big believer in the power of prayer action or as some would describe it - faith healing. I am continuing to pray for my son Felipe that he can 'normalize' and be able to achieve all the things (milestones) that he needs so that he can function normally and be baptized in April 2008. Please say a prayer for him.
Please also pray that we may be able to achieve our own domain - our own dwelling, where we can abide in a place that there is peace, where we are not encumbered by the negative lifestyles of people that only live a few feet from us. That we can set the kind of things we wish to see and hear, because it is our own home. Please say a prayer for us.

You and your family will be in my prayers, JB.
A prayer of gratitude for my neighbor Judy, who just received a new kidney after 10 years of waiting. The Lord gives miracles, and does answer our prayers!
