Isaiah Samuel Sheng Turns SEVEN

He stole our hearts almost five years ago with this picture…. smitten completely with this one as well….. It took God moving the mountains{the mountains being the entire Chin*se Government} to bring him home, as many around the world fasted and prayed for a miracle….
