Week one in December was our time to focus on the predictions of the Messiah's birth by the prophets of the old testament and their faith that it would happen...
Jeff Van Der Molen and his two oldest kids arrived Friday night for a week visit. They are spending the year living in Wyoming on the ranch where Ann grew up. It was great fun to have them around!
Rubelina's 15th birthday - her quinceanera - was Saturday night. Rubelina is one of the girls at the Ark (orphanage) who exudes athleticism... but this night she was the princess! The 15th birthday is much like the sweet sixteen in the States, in that it is special. However, the celebrations are formal, complete with gala attire! Henry De Los Rios shared about coming of age, Eric and Jose Luis (two of the house dads) and Vijo (director) sang to her, a feast was enjoyed by all, adults and kids alike shared words of encouragement and wisdom, and cake ended it all! This is also a time we talk about purity with the kids.
Chase and Micah with Rubelina!
Rolfi, Jose Imer, Roberto and Noel help serve...

A special time for all the Ark families! Jenny and Jose Luis have two biological kids and the rest are the Ark kids God has given them to raise!More soon... on to week 2 of December!
