Lucky


Here is what Bethel says about Charlie (Yu Zhi) in his profile on their website:
Yu Zhi has lived with Bethel China since 2010. He was just 2 years old when he arrived!
His birthday is in October (2007).
He has low vision and he does not let anything stop him. He runs up and down the halls of his school saying “Hello!” to everyone he met. He’s a good listener, and loves to be picked up and hugged by his aiyis.  Yu Zhi enjoys to play with musical toys such as the piano, and he loves playing with visitors.
He gets along well with the other children and is always giggling about something. He loves to run, jump, hug and is a very active little boy. He is very confident because he can see obstacles (walls, cars) and so he runs everywhere. He loves buses and cars, and anything with wheels, he is a typical little boy!
He has great self help skills and can now put on his own clothes, brush his teeth, serve himself food, and make his own bed. He has chores around the house including washing up dishes and folding clothes. In school he loves memorizing English songs and animals.
We’re really excited about the progress Yu Zhi has made! He is growing into a friendly, affectionate, kind boy. He could easily go to a mainstream school and learn with sighted children. He is so much fun!


People tell us that it is so amazing that we are doing this, that we are such good people.... But seriously, look at this little guy!  He sounds like the amazing one to me, and we feel so lucky that he will be in our family!  At church on Sunday we were singing How Great is Our God, and I became overwhelmed for where we are right now.  As tears rolled down my face, and my throat closed so much I couldn't really sing, I just lifted my hands and praised the Lord for what he has done for our family in the last year.  He is great, and He has done some amazing things!
