This week Christian was beyond blessed daily from help from friends whom he had grown up with his entire life. Manuel, one of our security guards at Monte de Horeb, was personally thanked by Christian at his home dedication. Manuel looked and helped him decide where he might put things in his home once the floor cured. But my sweetest memory of this dedication day was when Stephanie showed the grandfather of Christian the new Bible they just received at their dedication. My thoughts wondered if this sweet old man could read and if Stephanie and Christian maybe will read God's Word to him as of course little Sophia. Jacob said he thought she brought her new bible to church on Sunday morning for worship service. Christian and Stephanie are so blessed with family and friends in their lives. As Christian was sharing with me a little about his family heritage on the last day waiting for lunch I felt jealous which I know is a sin. He has so much love of community and spirituality in his life. He is only 24 years old and his life radiates so much at such a young age. He had a family all around him whom all love each other. He has a lovely wife and beautiful daughter. He has a full time job where he can provide for his family which is unusual for young men his age. God has blessed this young man and what is so beautiful we all got to live a small part of this with him this past week. We all saw joy, contentment and definitely community and spirituality amongst this little piece of heaven in Cedeno. Thank you God for so many blessings you placed in front of each of us this week.
