Welcome Timothy

Yesterday the three of us went out to go and see a new neighborhood.
We walked around and where scouting to see if it might be a place we would like to live.
It was quite and very good for us to get out as a family.

Sarah started to get tired as well as Jethro.
So I sent them on a Boda (motorcycle taxi), to go take a nap at home.
Later I found out that Jethro was so tired that he fell asleep on the Boda.

After they left I decided to head to Wandegeya where a few street kids hang out.
Before I got there I found a boy laying on the side walk on his side.
I could tell he was a street kid from his old dirty tattered clothes, no shoes, and the fact that he was only 13ish and sleeping on the sidewalk.
I stopped to give him some of my juice I had and to see if I knew him.
As he sat up I could see a road rash looking wound on his face. 
He was very disorientated and was not talking at all.
We walked together to go to the clinic to take care of his wound.

By the time we got to the clinic I could tell something was wrong with his head.
Amy the nurse looked at him and we spent some time with him to see what might be wrong.
She started to think that he might have epilepsy. He acted very much like that but no seizures.
None of the boys or uncles knew who this kid was, this is very uncommon.
Just as I  left he ended up having a seizure. 

This boy has to be scared lost and needs so much help. We do not know his name, where he is from, or if he had any family. There are so many unknowns. We are calling him Timothy for now.
So pray for this boy today. Keep is name on your mind you can do so much through prayer.

So Timothy you are my very special "Welcome Wednesday"
Welcome to my life Timothy.
