Meet Flor.

She (along with Milagros, Mariana, Maria... and others) is one of my favorite girls ever. She's 15, deaf since birth, and speaks only in sign. She has one of the most shining smiles and beautiful laughs I've ever seen or heard. She's full of humor, teasing, and sometimes attitude. She has a hunger to know more about the God she only recently gave her life to.

 

I got to hear about that tonight. We had a great conversation, each sitting on the top bunk in our room, she because she was going to bed and me because I wanted to talk to her. I had been wanting to hear from her own... well, her own hands what had been told me by others, and I asked Jesus for an opportunity to hear and to encourage her in any way. Well, He gave it to me, and it was so cool. In fact, we ended up deciding to get together in the next few days to read and talk about the Bible together! She really wants to learn more, but it's hard for her to understand, especially since her reading comprehension level is fairly low. I am SO excited about this opportunity. I would appreciate your prayers... I have nothing to give except for Jesus. Can't wait to see what He wants to do!
