NEED PRAYERS

Hello Family & Friends,
Well I've been home for 8 days now and I'm still trying to adjust.  I miss being in Africa with the kids and family i made.  I know this is where God has me now and I'm accepting that, but I think about the kids all of the time.  They stole my heart for sure! 
I'm not sure if anyone is still following but for those that are PLEASE PRAY for Masupa. I received a call from Julia this morning that Masupa ran away.  He was one of the older boys (11) that I fell in love with.  He was the one that taught me how to play soccer and how to do some tricks.  He is also the one that Julia and I went and bought shoes for before I left.  Last week Julia sent me a video from him and told me that he kept saying he missed "Auntie Jamie" and that he didn't want Julia to leave.  Friday she went to see them all and she said he told her then he didn't want her to leave.  When she got there on Saturday to spend her last day with them he was gone.  The older boys said that he was cleaning his new shoes before he left and crying.  They said he scaled the block wall and ran away.  It has been four days now and no word from him.  The house mom said he is very street smart which is good, but they are also worried he knows how to make himself disappear so they can't find him.  He has left before and the cops found him, but he told them he was someone else.  This breaks my heart...I'm so worried about him.  Please pray for his safety and that the cops find him soon and are able to get him back to the House of Martha with his family. 
Thank you all again for prayers, love and support!  Please continue praying for the kids and those of us struggling to be away from them. 
Love you all!
