The Story of Pedro
Pedro moves from Mexico, where his family were missionaries, to the United States.
He feels upset and out of place in his new country, struggling with language and making friends.
His father reassures him that the move is a trial to test his faith, and that God would provide friends.
After helping his mother with the move, Pedro finally goes outside and meets a group of children.
At first, Pedro cannot communicate because he doesn't speak their language, but he learns new words by interacting with a boy who shows him how to ride a bicycle.
Pedro makes a new friend and realizes that God had not forgotten him.
