I totally forgot the most important story ever!

Sunday morning at church, one of the American's taught. Giselle translated for everyone. The message was all about, "When you are down to nothing, God is up to something." He repeated it after every example from the bible he shared, most were about Joseph, and he even had the "congregation" say it as well. I'm really glad they didn't take out the 5-12 year olds, even if a 4 and 5 year old fell asleep. At the end, I could tell he was hesitating, but then he looked over at Manuel and then proceeded. He asked the kids if the wanted to ask Jesus to come into their hearts and lives. He explained what it entailed and that you need to believe in God before you ask him too. He didn't have anyone bow their heads or close their eyes. He had them raise their hands and eventually stand up. To my surprise, probably 20-25 kids stood up. It mostly consisted of new ones. (They weren't there for the 3 or 4 VBSs during the summer...lol) Other kids repeated the prayer in their seats. It was so awesome. A lot of the kids there already know Jesus, and it shows.

Like with Juan Ramon. This little boy is priceless. He is 10 years old and every Sunday he takes care of at least one of the little kids. Usually Carlito. This Sunday was no different, and he held Carlito while he slept most of the service. Carlito is 5, so Juan Ramon really isn't that much bigger. Oh, props to my Jesus really quick... He picked up Brandon and held him while he slept. Okay... back to Juan Ramon. After the kids accepted the Lord into their lives, they brought up Esveidy to pray for her and the baby growing inside of her. Juan Ramon, held Carlito with one hand, reached his other hand over to her and was saying his own prayer quietly. It was beautiful. It is so abundantly clear that he is God's child and he knows that God is in his heart. He will never be one of those kids that accepts Jesus in their heart 50 times. He knows. He prays. Jesus shines brightly through him.
