Jonathan

There is a little boy from the church named Jonathan who recently had surgery on both of his legs. He is 4 years old. His legs are in casts past his knees. We got a phone call from his mom saying that he was feeling really bad so my grandma went to go check on him. She said that he had a fever and had thrown up. He was definitely not feeling well, but when she walked in and asked him how he was doing, he flashed her a huge smile and said, "Bien!"
She had to go back the next day to check on him, so Larry, Kate (a couple that is here from the States), Zion, Ezra and I tagged along. We made him a little care package, and Zion agreed to share some of his toys with Jonathan. Talk about a proud mama.
When we arrived at the little home with the dirt floor, we were greeted by the whole family. Smiles and kisses for everyone. Jonathan was still feeling a little puny, but lit up when Zion sat next to him and handed him the contents of his care package one by one. I tried to explain to Zion how sharing our things is a chance that we have to share the love of Jesus and also makes the Lord happy. I hope he understood. At least once I was done talking to him he replied, "Yes, mama."
Zion sat right next to him while we all laid hands and prayed for healing. This morning we got word that Jonathan is feeling much better. Thank you, Jesus!
