Computer troubles

We just got our computer back. We have had problems with it lately and took it in last Saturday. It worked great for a few days, but then stopped working all together. I don't know what was wrong with it, but we took it back in on Monday when it refused to start. We just got it back today and boy was it frustrating to not have our computer.
So much has happened these past few days. Esperanza came to our house on Tuesday and told us she has found a house and is trying to move. She came back from the hospital and found out that all of her plates, cups, buckets, ect. were taken away. She found a house for almost $20 a month, but does not even have the money to make a downpayment. She was making money by sewing pants and selling them, but when she went to the hospital her "mother-in-law" took the machine back from her. The stories we could tell you about this family. They are so petty and everything is about "me". I do not understand how someone can treat their family the way Esperanza has been treated, but they do. We want to help Esperanza, but are not sure how. We found a sewing maching for about $90. It is a treadle machine which is what is common here so people can work without using electricity. We are not sure that we can get it for her though. We don't know what we are going to do. She was supposed to come yesterday and we were going to buy her material to help her get ahead, but she did not show up. We will ask her today why she didn't come. It is most likely that she could not get anyone to watch her kids.
Please pray for us that we will use wisdom in dealing with this situation. Also pray for us as we are trying to find a truck to use when we get back to the states. It has to be low mileage, 2003 or newer, diesel, and 4 wheel drive so we can bring it back here to Honduras to use it on the field. We have limited search resources and time so please pray with us that we will find the one God has for us.
