Babies everywhere!

Everywhere I go, I get babies! Had the same great day as yesterday, I can't even tell you how many commitments were made today, but the one that stuck out the most was the 14 year old that gave birth 6 weeks ago to a baby 1 month early. There was definitely something wrong with the baby, b/c as I held him, he kept twitching. My heart went out for that family! I asked the abuela (grandmother) what the little boys name was, and she said that they don't name him until his first birthday. I've heard of that in Africa b/c the mortality rate being what it is, but hadn't heard of it around here. I can't imagine the last year of my life, having Michael & not giving him a name. Pray for that family, they are on the right track, abuela & mom both got saved, but I have a feeling they are in for a long road with the baby. I just wanted to take him home with me!
