Yesterday Three of our boys had birthdays, Valdiney, Josue and Lucas! We decided to have a big celebration in the cafeteria everyone together. It was lots of fun and many laughs shared, as some really enjoyed pictures and others just tried to escape the madness (poor Valdiney). We had to keep reminding Josue that it was HIS birthday too! :) Then after he finally caught on, he told everyone welcome to my party! It made our hearts so happy to see them really enjoy themselves.
We had such a good time being able to celebrate three birthdays at once! It was such an honor to be a part of their day and make it special for them. To see the joy so evident on their faces makes it all worth it. Please pray with Bruno and I for these three. For Valdiney, that God would work a deep healing in his life for the hurts and trauma, that God would break open his shell and allow him to feel welcome around people and really be able to enjoy life. For Lucas, that he would adapt well transitioning into house 1, that he would feel loved and cared for enough to stay and not run away. For Josue, that God would help us prepare him for his future, learning to take care of himself and be responsible. That God would help him learn the basics of reading and writing at school, the he would enjoy learning. Also, that God would bring him healing, mentally, from the mental illnesses that run in his family.
