Edilda

I want everyone to meet our new friend Edilda. He is a thirty two year old down syndrome gentlemen who has true joy in his life as long as he is not hungry, his routine does not change or waiver and you help him tie and untie his red and white rope.  He was amazed at Mike and the block saw on the first day of the building of his home.  His sister, Rosemary Analee came and got him twice and took him up to his stick home where he had lived for the last five or so years.  He marched very hard back up the path to his home and turned right around in five minutes was back down there with Mike again.  So finally Rosemary or some family member gave him the rope which can entertain him for hours as long as someone sits with him and helps him tie and untie the string.  Meida got promoted first with him as I sat and watched and helped as well. Later Tino came over sat with him and he truly liked Tino helping him.  Tino and Edilda became great friends that week.  He got real excited on the last day of his home being built.  We knew this was all very new for him but he handled it very well.  The last couple of days his mother kept him at the house because he got tired very easily and stressed quickly of all the activities which was definitely not his normal.  God blessed us this week with Edilda and this team who treated him with God's love and grace.  We love you Edolda.
