You have heard a lot about Samuel in the last few posts and that is because he has worked from morning to night since he has arrived! Samuel is one of Viktoria's nephews from Hungary who had been serving in an orphanage in Mexico prior to coming to visit CLM. During the first couple weeks, he and his brother, David remodeled Viktoria's apartment, knocking down walls, drywalling, painting and building kitchen cabinets. After working all day, he still had enough time and energy to play with the kids, help with evening chores, and put the kids to bed. This past week, he jumped in to offer his expertise with concrete...working from morning to night in the hot sun, to complete the project before returning to Mexico. Words cannot express how thankful we are for his servant's heart and how much we will all miss him. Please pray for him as he finishes out his trip this week with a visit to Foz do Iguacu and to our children's home in Turvo.
