Bulatoo
Bulatoo is coming to spend some time with our family today. He is a student from Bamboo School but has no family to go home to in the holidays. His parents...from what we know....escaped from Burma with him and settled in Bong Ti (Village near the school) They sent him off to Bamboo School and when he returned home one day - he found nothing. His parents had just simply left and he has not heard from them since. With nowhere to go, our family asked if he wanted to come live with us for a bit. He seems to have somewhat of a connection with our family and he seems genuinely excited to be coming. Bulatoo is obviously a troubled teenager with anger that surfaces periodically. We will attempt to soak him in love and through that teach him a different story - a story that tells him his is precious and valued and was created by a God that wants to guide him, love and give him a peace that passes all understanding. There is definitely a softness that we see (not many people get to see it- so we feel privileged) and he certainly has the capacity to be a great leader. I love him dearly and am looking forward to treating him to a train ride and DVDs and Milkshakes among other things today.

Hope you enjoy the holidays with Bulatoo.
We really enjoyed reading of your village visit on your previous post. We read it tonight as a family after dinner (which incidently wasn't fish and rice). The kids had lots of questions and were very interested.
Love and prayers
