This week the girls that go to 7th heaven learned the stories of the children that we are with everyday. It really hit them hard. It turns out that Linda and cornelius have the same mother. Linda ran the house, she washed the diapers and prepared the food, and did all the laundry. Her mother slept with her boss, who once finding out that he had AIDS stabbed their mother. Cornelius was very sick and malnutritioned when Nelly got him, and she saved Linda from going to an institution.

Tessa and Ronaldo are brother and sister as well. Their mother had many different boyfriends who were all abusive. Tessa would run to call the police. Because of that the boyfriend started tying Tessa to a tree. Tess would think when tied to the tree that there has to be a better life then this. Their mother ended up getting beaten to death in front of them.
Also, Nelly just got a 1 yr. old named Blessings. (Picture of him to the Right) His mother ran off in Febuary once she found out she had HIV. Then the father didn’t want him so he gave him to a neighbor, but then the other day the father told her that she would have to choose between him and the baby (I think they were in a relationship) so she choose the father. So Nelly just went to Court the other day and adopted him.
The girls really took the stories hard. Two of them cried the whole night that they found out. Pray for them as they continue to love on these kids.
