Talita Cumi

Thursday was Labor Day so we went to Talita Cumi to hang out with the kids since there was no school. It is so great to go because no matter what they are doing all the kids come and greet you with a hug and a besito and they are so happy to see you. Here is one of the new boys Rodrigo hugging on Grant. Grant and Gustavo watching a marble game that the other boys were playing.
Lunch time for Juan de Dios, Edwin and Eliseo who is Rodrigo's brother and also new to the home.
Here is Heidi, Devana, Stephan and Grant on Stephan's last day at the orphanage. He is moving to Colombia to do missions work there.
These are the new stairs that were built at the home to replace the ones that burned down in the fire. Maple City Chapel provided the funds to do this project and the new stairs look great.
This is Eliseo, which is the name Elijah in Spanish. He is 4 and was abandoned by his parents because they couldn't afford to care of him and his brother. When they first arrived they sat on the floors and felt the tile because they had never seen any other type of floor besides dirt floors. He is such a beautiful boy and his smile just melts you every time.
Grant and Eliseo.
Another shot of lunch time.
