Deng Mabil, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan (http://www.redcross.org/news/in/africa/0108lostboyspage.html) has been living in my parent's garage apartment since February of 2006. He moved to the Coast after Katrina to work at Camp Coast Care to help families displaced by the storm. Since then, he has become a part of our family. I distinctly remember the day in church when I first noticed Deng and the other lost boys presence. They all stood so tall and proud, and if you go to the link in this post you will see that they all have suffered greatly. Yet, they always have a smile on their faces and a glow about them. Anyway, the last Sunday in May was a Sudanese recognition day at our church. Deng and the other Lost Boys served as our choir for the day and sang Dingke hymns from their homeland. It was perfect.
