Sheyla


Brin had a student in her English class last year named Sheyla. She was raised by her Grandparents and now, in her early twenties, she lives with her older sister. She was intrigued by our church after attending the English school and started attending shortly after.

Last Sunday we had the privilege of watching her get baptized. She has developed a connection with Brin and often just drops by our house to hang out and practice English. We haven't been able to have many deep spiritual conversations with her, but we've certainly observed her as she has become fully involved in our church and displays a genuine love for the Lord. It's exciting to see the limited role we have played in her spiritual life, and makes us wonder about the potential for this to increase as we learn more of the language.
