This is Marius, a 9 year old boy from Romania. This is a picture of him before he was burned in a horrible fire, which also took his parents lives.
This is 9 year old Marius after the fire. He has recieved 4th degree burns over a huge portion of his body. He is coming to California to be fostered by a family in our ward here in Santee. He has been given an extended visa of 5 years, along with his 19 year old brother, so that he can be cared for at Shriner's.His story is recorded on the website here and I hope you will go to it and read about and see who he is: http://www.teammarius.org He will be in primary with my boys and I hope they will be good examples of Christlike love to him. I hope he will feel loved and accepted here. We pray for his recovery and especially for his internal wounds to be healed. He will only have an interpreter for a month here so we realize this will be a bit of a scarey experience for him. Please keep him in your prayers!

Congrats to you on being pregnant!!!!!
Spencer's comments on Marius' picture was, "Oh, how cute" I think kids are a lot more Christ like and understanding than we give them credit for sometimes. What an amazing and tragic story. Hopefully he can get the care that he needs and is able to live a full life.
How sweet of that family to take him in! You'll have to keep us updated on his new life here in America. Totally makes me cry and cherish life each day.
