It didn't take them long to warm up to the place and make some friends, though. They got haircuts and new clothes, and it was fun to watch the other little guys introduce themselves and show their new buddies what to do at meals. You can see the contrast in these pictures from the very next day.
I couldn't help but laugh (and take video) yesterday as Eliseo was on the swings and trampoline, probably for the first time in his life. He loved it so much that he just kept giggling continuously while he played. (He's the smaller one on the trampoline video below.) The previous day, I thought he was going to be a shy little guy that we wouldn't hear much out of for a while, but I was wrong. Right now, I hear him outside laughing even harder as someone is pushing him around on a skateboard. It's so great to get to see in such a dramatic way how the Lord gives new lives to these kids.

What a beautiful testimony! And there is nothing better than hearing a child laugh. Thank you for sharing.
Is the trampoline in better shape now than it was when I was there? Bro, great video you are gonna have to teach me how to do that.
If only we could all remember to laugh, and jump on a trampoline. I don't think I could get anyone to push me on a skate board though. Thanks for sharing and for helping these kids experience the simple ... yet life giving things of life.
Oh, that video is so sweet! What an amazing thing this is for you all to get to make these kids smile and laugh. Hope you all are doing well!
