Flowers from Fernanda

We would like to tell you a little about Fernanda. She is another one of our precious, sweet girls here at the project. She has a brilliant smile and lots of energy. However, transition has been difficult for her. Here she has rules, responsibilities and she has to go to school. Some days she will just simply refuse to do her chores, do her homework or go to school.  I’ll ask her why she didn’t go to school today and she will tell me “it is boring”. We give her a lot of reasons to go but the one that usually gets her is when we tell her that we love her and that’s why we want what is best for her. A lot of times after school she finds me when I’m working. I never know when I will hear her call
my name and see her smile and wave or see her peeking around a corner. Occasionally
she will even climb up the scaffolding to deliver some small yellow flowers she
found or a crayola masterpiece of Jesus she made. She requires a lot of special
attention and at times can be a hand full for the staff. However, she is a special
child of God. When we look around here in Honduras we can think “there
are just too many and we can’t reach them all.” This is true. But for now we know we
can reach these here at Manuelito and today Fernanda is safe and cared for and will continue to be. Today she is learning more and more of what it means to be a child of the King.  And when we think of the alternative, we praise God and thank Him for Project Manuelito.

And Fernanda will "praise you because she is fearfully and wonderfully made.  Your works are wonderful and she will know that full well!"
Psalm 139:14
