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!
