Yojani Camacho Ayala
/Yojani is a beautiful teenager about to finish her studies. She came to EA in 2013 at age 7, the fifth of seven siblings. Walking with Yojani all this time has been a great blessing. We have accompanied her and her mother through many processes, such as her health and her surgery due to a heart defect.
Yojani taught us a lesson in strength. As a child, she had difficulty having healthy relationships with her peers. She needed acceptance and was somewhat defiant of authority. Her reading and writing skills could have been stronger, which generated frustration and led to comparisons.
As time went by, she grew not only in years but also in maturity, and her confidence strengthened in her emotional areas. For a long time, she has participated in EA workshops, activities, routines, teachings, and experiences that have strengthened her in her spiritual, emotional, physical, and educational areas. These workshops, activities, and routines aim to provide life tools and lay Christian foundations as the basis of her life.
Today, we can see her growth as a daughter of God. She expressed her desire to honor God by participating in the time of praise, and we can see how her relationship with her heavenly Father is reflected in her life. She is a hard-working young woman looking to generate income for her graduation expenses.
Today, she is very confident and secure, and she easily establishes relationships. She is a daughter and sister who cares about her family (even though sometimes she does not feel fully supported by them) and a young woman with many hopes.
I marvel at how God has guarded her heart all this time and has not allowed that beautiful smile of a girl full of hope to be erased. Today, we can continue to enjoy that contagious and warm smile. We trust in God's faithfulness to continue working in her life as He has done before. In the end, we can raise our hands and glorify Him for His wonderful ways and faithfulness.
