Javier who is between two and three years old is very small in stature for his age. Always happy, he loves to play outside even when it's cold. On the day this picture was taken, Javier had on numerous layers of clothing including a hood to cover his neck and ears.
Esteban started to kindergarten this year and loves to play soccer. Apolinar explained to us that Mexico likes to use good sportsmen as examples and they encourage champions. Esteban was recently proclaimed soccer champion of the kindergarten and was privileged to receive a large trophy for winning against other schools in Nuevo Progreso. The picture shows Esteban proudly holding his reward. The trophy now stands in the school classroom where he attends.
Apolinar and Carla are proud of all their children, but these two little ones are special to Apolinar. After Apolinar's serious accident and near death over a year ago, he feels that God allowed him to return to his life in order to take care of them. Once again able to work and support his family, Apolinar said he comes home for lunch every day so he can spend time playing with Javier and Esteban.
"Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3
