POST by RENZY: Amen! Gloria a Dios!!!

Raffy & Billy Praisin´ the Lord

Now that we are home schooled again we have new routines. We get up as early as we want to but we have to be awake before nine o’clock because that is when we start schooling. At nine we all have to sit at the table and then we start our routine.

We read from the Bible, pray, and then start school stuff like math, reading, and writing. A few days ago we were sitting at the table waiting for my Dad to come to the table because we went and sat at the table early.

Billy is my adopted brother. He is not adopted yet but we are in the process of it. He is probably the plumpest three year old kid in the whole World. He absolutely loves food. Sometimes he will be your best friend and other times he will be your worst enemy. 

When he is being your best friend he will copy everything you do and say, and always want to be with you. When he is being your worst enemy he will do the opposite of what I just said. He will not want to talk to you and he will scream at you.

Today Rafael and Billy were best friends. Like I said before they were doing everything together. Billy would copy everything Rafael would do and Rafi loves attention so he was laughing and doing weird things so that Billy would copy him. They were using weird things like Rafi would grab brooms, mops, sticks, chairs, anything that he could get his hands on.

So Rafi and Billy were doing that whilst Sezni, Fran, and I were sitting and waiting. When my Dad came out he said “Okay, we are going to start by reading the Bible.” At that very moment Rafi said “Praise the Lord!” and then Billy said “Amen!” Whilst he said it he had a stick thingy and held it in the air.

We were all surprised by that because Billy can’t speak very well and when he does speak you can hardly understand him. When he said “Amen”, he said it so clearly that it sounded like a preacher had said it but with a high pitched voice. We all sort of started to laugh, who knows why, and then we started our routine.
