He wants to finish up more studies first. Beth also had two different Skype interviews with a possible school psychologist and a possible MS Bible teacher.

ECA Weekly Bulletin eca.edu.co Issue #34-26 | [email protected] Click here to see the school calendar for this month Main News Elementary Secondary FRI Mar 20 Classified Ads Part 4 Ievgen: Cuando lo sacamos del orfanato, decía… ¿Recuerdas lo que decías? Temía que no lo aceptáramos, y dijo, ¡por favor, llévenme!!! Haré todo lo que me digan que haga. Limpiaré, barreré, lavaré los platos. ¡Haré todo lo que me digan que haga…pero por favor, acéptenme en su familia!!! Narrador: Los Isaiev creyeron que ya habían completado su familia, sin embargo Dios tenía otros planes. Svetlana: El servicio social me llamó y me dijo: Svetlana, enviaremos dos niñas al orfanato de tu ciudad, no te gustaría ir a verlas, ¿qué dices? Hija: Hace tres años mis padres vinieron por mí. Estaba muy feliz de que me aceptaran. El Testimonio de los Isaiev de Ucrania Después de 23 horas viaje, dos escalas, atravesar el Atlántico y recorrer 11.560 kms, lograron llegar de Kiev, Ucrania los Isaiev. Ievgen, Svetlana, Alexandra y Anna llegaron sin contratiempo alguno. Les invito a leer lo de abajo. Es cortico y hay una foto de la toda la familia: Papá, mamá, y once mucharejos. Sí usted conoce a una persona que esta adicta a algo, esa persona debe escuchar esta historia. La entrada es sin costo. Invítelo y acompáñelo. El siguiente video corto explica lo que deseo comunicarle: http://goo.gl/EFmFOo Part 3 La historia continua … un sueño que involucraría la adopción. Svetlana me dijo: “adoptemos a un pequeño, pero no uno normal”. Le dije, ¿a qué te refieres cuando dices que no un niño normal? ¿A uno de la luna? Ella dijo, no..., uno con el mismo diagnóstico tuyo. Y entonces le dije, pues, bien, hagámoslo. La enfermedad que Ievgen había visto en su vida como una maldición, sería el camino que daría un amor profundo por cada uno de los huérfanos. Pronto los Isaiev le darían la bienvenida a su primer hijo VIH positivo. Poco después de eso, llegó otro pequeño. Narrador: Hoy la familia Isaiev tiene 11 hijos. Nueve de los cuales son adoptados, ocho son VIH positivos, dos de sangre (sanos) y el último adoptado es Yuri, que llegó el 25 de diciembre de 2015. No es de extrañar que Ucrania los haya reconocido como héroes por hacer lo que muchos nunca hubieran considerado hacer. Dios puede cambiar radicalmente la vida de las personas, de drogadictos al orgullo de Ucrania. Ievgen: No pensamos en ninguna recompensa. Solo decidimos hacer lo que nuestros corazones nos decían que hiciéramos. Decidimos enfrentar el problema para combatirlo. No fue por ningún galardón o título. Solo hicimos lo que estaba en nuestros corazones. Svetlana: Solo puedo decir una cosa; Si caminas con Dios y le dices sí, él le concederá los deseos de tu corazón.
