Salomón and the New Bike

One of the Sunday School classes from Bright Star UMC sponsors Salomón, and when the group from that church came in July, some of the people from that class gave a donation to buy a new bike for our boys. Since the boys share the bikes and it wouldn't be just for Salomón, we made a deal with him that if he didn't get in trouble for a couple of weeks, he could be the one to go with us to pick out and buy the bike.

For Salomón to go a couple of weeks without getting in trouble is a big deal, but he did it. He was motivated, and even did things extra to make sure that he would be able to go. Finally, the day came last week, and we got to go to the bike factory and pick it out. He got to choose between blue, blue, blue, blue, or this black/red/yellow one that was his favorite. He quickly took a spin on it in the parking lot, and was anxious to show it off to the other boys when we returned to NLCH.
