JOY, THANKFULNESS, LOVE
Those words may describe the
feelings I have in my heart now.
As
you know Miguel Angel has been living with me since the 19th of
February, and a time of adjustment begun, he lived in the orphanage since he
was 3 days old, and now he is 4 years old, he used to sleep in a room with 5
other boys and slept in his crib still, so moving to a new home, was big to him but he is happy! He wakes up
singing and dancing! he sleeps good in his bed and I think he loves his “mami”
the main problem I had was that he is terrified of dogs, and I don’t want to
jump into conclusions but he always asks me if that dog (any dog) eats
children, and I wonder if someone at the orphanage used to tell him that… that
is why when he came was terrified of my dogs, he could not see them or would
start screaming and shaking and sweating, please help
me pray that he can feel safe with me and will understand that dogs do not eat
children! And also that I can teach him now about God in such a way that he
would never doubt that God is next to him.
The Lord has
been great to me, after surgery and Miguel Angel coming, I got the privilege to
serve with a team from Minnesota, we served in Precious Moments, also in
Sumpango church, near the garbage dump of Sumpango, and the HIV orphanage, the
children had so much fun and the nuns too! Thank God for this ministry! In a
not that happy note, for those of you who met and prayed for Alfredo (the boy
who had a big surgery) he is in heaven now, the Lord took him about 3 weeks
ago, please pray that the other kids do not think that they
are “next”.
I will start
teaching formally next Wednesday, after taking 2 months to recover from surgery
and adjust with Miguel, thank you for your on going love and support, we need
it! Please pray for safety as Precious Moments area had
become even more dangerous more killings, more gang activity in the area, pray
for Pastor Jaime, teachers and I please.
