Timothy is Superman(just saying). I met him while we were visiting houses in the I.D.P.(Internally Displaced Persons) Camp. He is ten years old. The first thing I noticed was his big smile, not the braces on his legs or the crutches he was using to help get around.
You see Timothy was born with clubbed(feet turned in) feet. The reason he was wearing the braces is because he had an operation to turn them outward so he could walk right. I must say since the first time I saw him three weeks ago, his feet have been healing so well! Each time I visit him(which is twice a week) he shows me how far he can walk. It makes me so happy to look at his Mothers’ face and see her smile grow every time Timothy takes an extra step. It is also really wicked sweet that Timothy and his Mom both love God and have Jesus in their hearts. So Timothy is pretty much my legit(imate) bro.
He is my Superman because he has a strength in him that I wish I had. He could be so sad and down that he can’t run around with his friends but he isn’t. He is the happiest kid and I must say I admire that about him. Since he reminded me of Superman I gave him my Superman watch. That watch meant a lot to me and I knew right away that I wanted him to have it. He deserves it! We decided as a team to go to the I.D.P. Camp two times a week and pass out food to the families. As a result I get to visit him and his Mother twice a week which makes me extremely happy. I love them.
I love going to the I.D.P Camp and passing out food to the the people there. God has been giving us the chance to build so many wonderful relationships with the families there(like Timothy and his mom). I love the kids there with all my heart. They are truly beautiful. You can not look at their smiling faces and say that you can not see Jesus. Uh, I love them so much!
P.S. Thank you guys so much for your prayers!
Oh, and God? Thank you so much for sending me
