Meet David…

David Ezra is named after David Taylor, Cynthia´s Dad, and Ezra 7:10, one of Odir´s favorite verses. He is a very energetic and loving boy, and already with a big testimony to share.

After David was born, he did not pass the hearing tests at the hospital, in which his doctor affirmed that he was going to be deaf. Long story short, after 3 months and a scary visit at Nationwides Children's Hospital, he finally passed a more advanced test. Odir and Cynthia left the bulding rejoicing in the Lord that morning when they discovered that their baby could actually hear. Now to see David talking and singing in English and learning Portuguese as his second language is a blessing and forever reason of praise for his parents!

What is hard now is to make him to stop talking! David loves to create stories, build “videogame levels” with his toys, sing and create new songs and tunes (“soundtrack" style). His imagination goes to infinity and beyond. Odir used to love an old cartoon called “Bobby's World” — he was just like the little boy from the show called Bob, and so is David, with a huge imagination!

David also loves to make new friends at church and try new Portuguese words with his Vovó and Vovô (Brazilian Nanny and Grandpa) in São Paulo.

Favorite food:
Sesame chicken; anything with chicken and pasta. And if you ask him, he would not hesitate to answer: chocolate (all shapes and sizes) and ice cream!

Favorite toys:
Super Mario and other Nintendo characters. Like his daddy, he loves Nintendo videogames.

Favorite movie/cartoon:
The Super Mario Movie (of course); Pokemon; Bluey; Cory Carson; Wall-E; and many more.
