We celebrated four special birthdays at the little children’s home this week.

Sheila May turned one. Her birthday present is that she has a new family in the US. However, since we are still waiting the matching to be approved, we weren’t able to inform her new parents.

David, though, also turned one, and his parents sent presents for him. It is so awesome for them (and for us) to be getting to know their parents even before they meet them in this way.

It's a way for the family to be together even before circum-stances allow it--like Advent before Christmas, Lent before Easter.

Angielyn received a birthday present today from her new family, so she and David opened their presents together.

Senon was abandoned in a shopping mall, so his paper work will take longer. But it was the manage-ment and staff of the mall where he was found who bought the cake and juice for the party. It was a time of celebrating God’s saving work in these precious children.
