WHAT A MIGHTY GOD AND LOVING FATHER WE SERVE!

Dear AOL board members, Juanita sponsors and friends: Last Saturday was a spectacular day for us, as individuals and as a ministry! We had 3 girls graduating. 2 from 6th. Grade, Jessica Jazmina and Luz Esperanza; and Juanita graduating from High School! These girls, as well as all the rest of them, and the boys, are dearest to my grandfather´s heart.

But, unashamedly I have to recognize that 2 of them have appealed to my father´s one. We had no girls of our own, only boys, and Gladys and I had always longed for daughters.

The first one was Scarleth, who, holding my hand while coming back from school about 3 years ago, confided to me some very painful experiences she went through when she was only 5 years old, and then asked me if I wanted to be her father.

Now, Juanita asked me the same, while presenting to me her ID document showing she is finally an adult, and asking me to walk her down the aisles at her graduation ceremony.

I love them all, all the children the Lord had entrusted to my care with your indefatigable support, but these 2 girls will be always in my heart, my father´s heart, and a prideful one.

The 3 girls and us, the AOL people with Spencer and his wife leading the group, as all our girls went with us to the graduations, were as people say “the heart of the party”. Share our joy. It will last me forever, in the good and the bad times to come.
