Last Friday we received Helen into Ruth’s House. Before she left Talita Cumi we had a beautiful 18th birthday celebration for her at the children’s home. All of the children were in attendance, many of the uncles and aunts at the home, and a group of Helen’s friends from school too. A number of the children sang or put on dances, many people shared words of encouragement for Helen, and even Helen spoke, giving thanks to the aunties who had raised her over the past several years.
Helen is a kind and intelligent young woman with a lot of potential and dreams. She has a strong desire to find lost relatives and visit family members who live on the other side of the country in La Paz. Please pray that we can help her realize those dreams. Beyond that, Helen will finish her high school studies this year, along with her gastronomy course that she takes in the evenings. Her desire is to major in nutrition at university and learn English so that she can study abroad in the United States. Please pray for her and the Ruth’s House team as we seek to guide her in wisdom.
