My Little Michelita


If you've ever been around me when I'm talking about New Life Children's Home (so pretty much if you've ever been around me!), you've probably heard me share about little Michelita. She is a sweet, loving, bilingual 3 year old who moved to Guatemala in January 2008--and, she is a dwarf. She was born weighing less than 2 lbs, and now, three years later, she is 25 inches tall and about 11 lbs. The Lord has been so faithful in protecting her and providing for her already and it's truly a miracle to see her so lively and healthy and happy despite her size and the lack of care she received before being brought to NLCH.

Tomorrow Michelle will fly to the US with NLCH directors Kendon and Wendy Wheeler. A specialist in Delaware has agreed to see her and provide necessary exams at a reduced price. Please pray for safe travels and good doctor reports. Michelle (and her 3 siblings) are such a sweet addition to NLCH and I can't imagine the play without her spunk. :)

Above is a recent picture taken of Michelita in the prayer garden at the home. For more information on Michelle and her trip, please visit Kendon Wheeler's blog: kendonwheeler.blogspot.com
