While the Belpre team was in Honduras one of the boys living with us, Carlos decided that he wanted to be baptized and start a new life. This is something he has been talking about for a few months now, and while the group was there it seemed like the perfect time for him. So on April 18, 2009 he was baptized with a whole bunch of his brothers and sisters around to celebrate with him. Before he was baptized he and his brothers spoke about their life and how hard it has been and how now they are blessed to be getting an opportunity to get an education and have a new life, where they are safe and loved. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed in my entire life. And was a good reminder that what we do matters and that this really is what we are there for. And also a reminder that sometimes we just need to show up and be present in someone's life when circumstances are rough, for them to see Jesus in us. Good things are happening and its an honor to be a part of it. So thank you to all of you that are supporting this ministry, you ARE making a difference.
