Celia & Anna

About a month ago I posted about trying to visit Celia, Anna & Marcelino, but they were away with their family picking coffee in a plantation for the past month.  Well they returned home on Wednesday, and so we were able to visit them on Friday.  It was so good to see them and know that they were doing alright!

We were happy to hear that they were able to start attending classes at the school near their house the day after they returned home, even though it’s already a month into the school year. We brought them bookbags and a few school supplies to make sure that they’re all ready.  And we hope to visit them again in the coming weeks and see how the school year is progressing.

They are the youngest three from a family of 9 kids, and we had a great time meeting and talking to two of the older kids and their mother.  The only school in the area stops after the sixth grade. Their older brother Daniel, who we met, graduated from the sixth grade last year and won’t be studying further.

Please pray for Celia, Anna & Marcelino.  It’s good to see them back with their family, and it’s obvious that the family is happy to be together.  But they are very poor, and they have a lot of needs.  Please pray that God would bless our visits with the family, and that He would direct us how to best help them.

Celia, Anna, Daniel, Maricio, Mom & Estella
