Esthela goes to school

Last Monday Esthela started school for the very first time in her life. As they saluted the flag she stumbled over the words she still did not know. Nervously she said goodbye to her mother and I as she followed her teacher to her classroom. Hours later when we picked her up we could hardly get a word in as she explained her new friends and her teacher.
This is such a huge step for Esthela and her mother. She is the first one in her family to attend school in a long time, if she keeps at it she will be able to excel out of the poverty level that her family has been stuck in for several generation.
This is just the beginning. Please continue to pray for Esthela.
