Praying for a Husband

Agum is 6 and hilarious. Her biological mom is Sabet's sister and her biological dad is unknown. When Sabet's sister died, Sabet and Suzy decided to adopt Agum. They are now her mom and dad. When we came in February, she had been with them for a month or two and spoke no English. She was very sweet and liked to hang out with us, but she wouldn't talk. When we got here I was stunned to see her progress. Now you can't stop her from talking. She has learned so much. It's amazing. She has a very curious mind. She has asked Sheena about her wedding about 5 times and wants to hear every detail. She has told me that she has Cinderella 10 times and loves to talk about the wedding.

Yesterday, I was sitting with Agum and Jed and they were drilling me with questions. I love hanging out with them because they are so funny. I could tell Sabet and Suzy have consistently exposed them to Bible stories because they know so much. Towards the end of our theological conversation, she said "do you want a husband?" and I said, "yes, I would love one." She asked "you can pray to God and ask him for one and he will bring you one?" I said "yes I hope so!" She then said "can I pray to God right now so he can bring you a husband?" I said "sure!" So, she prayed "Dear God, thank you for Stacie, please help her to have a husband. Amen."

Kids are so simple and wonderful. It was just the sweetest moment.
