We have had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time with the family whose house burned down in February. We had dinner with them a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the company of the family and Pedro who has recently remarkably recovered in about a month in a half from sever second degree burns on his face and hands. We had delicious barbecue chicken (I didn't like barbecue chicken until I tried it here) and laughed and played with Vicki, Pedro and Abi (their youngest daugher). I felt so blessed to have these people as friends and to just get to spend an evening with them, as you would have a friend over for dinner in the states. They are truly good friends.
Anyway, I wanted to inform you all that Pedro has healed remarkably. A friend of ours from the states came to visit over her spring break and informed us that she had a cousin who was burned similarly, but it took her more like 3 months to heal. Pedro is almost back to normal except for some discolored spots and some scabs an it has only been about a month in a half since the accident. When I learned how much time it normally takes to heal I really recognized how God has healed Pedro. I think it is pretty cool :).
Please keep the family in your prayers. Abi the youngest daughter has a genuine fear of fire now, when she even just sees fire from a barbecue she becomes scared and Vicki still struggles with pain and guilt from the death of her baby. They could also use prayers for their home, which hands and feet is now rebuilding, and the new baby which is on the way :)
Thanks!
