¡Que Lindo!

No, not the missionary, the BABY!

In case you didn’t know, “¡Que lindo!” is an expression that means, “How cute!” and indeed this little guy was, but he is also quite a story.

Gaelyn Vladimir was born nearly a year ago with serious problems. In a difficult forceps delivery, his head and arm were damaged. The doctors expressed concern that he’d ever develop into a normal baby. Desparate, his parents called pastor Abel Can to pray, and that has made all the difference.

Now, you’d never know he’d been through such a trial. He’s a bright, inquisitive one year-old, who is a joy to be around. His parents, who’d strayed away from the church, are now active members, and, two weeks ago, they walked forward to dedicate themselves to raise Gaelyn in a Christian home.

For me, this was a Yucatán first. I’d never been asked to dedicate a baby before, but, as you can see, I had no need to be nervous, nobody was paying attention to the preacher!
