Bemvindo (or Welcome in Protuguese)!

In my lapse of blogging we have said welcome to 3 new little ones. First, Felizardo! Felizardo has joined us in Tracey’s dorm. This is a transition dorm that helps our Baby House children move into a larger dorm easier. She keeps about 8-9 kids for a year before we transition them fully into center life. Felizardo came from another center in the city along with 4 other boys. He seemed smaller and more fragile than the others so instead of going directly into Laura’s dorm (6-9 year olds) he is going to stay with Tracey for a year. We were told he is 6 although I would guess closer to 4 or 5. He came in with a chest infection and possibly has asthma. Please be praying with us for Felizardo's continued adjustment to our center and that one day we will be able to find his family.Second and Third...we have new twins! Their names are Maria and Amelia and they are only 2 months old. Oh my goodness...I could eat them up they are so cute. I was just saying to Erin I would LOVE new baby babies...and here they are! (Maria is on the left and Amelia on the right.)They are completely healthy so far, drinking all of their milk, growing by the day, and adjusting to the Bercario (Nursery) just fine! The tias seem to love having babies around again and especially healthy ones. They are with us because their mother passed away during childbirth and their father could not care for them as well as the 4 other children in the household. Soon their 3 year old sister may be coming to live with us in the Baby House as well. Please join us in prayer that they would continue to adjust to life in the Bercario and would grow up healthy and strong to know Jesus as their Lord!
