Blankets blessing mothers in Guatemala

Adrian, Wilbur (Adrian's long time friend also from Costa Rica who was spending a few months in Guatemala for missions work with Gabe and Cristina) and our daughter Cristina (she just had her own baby two weeks before this visit!) were able to visit this young single woman and her new baby, her brother talked with them as well. Going to visit families like this one speaks to their hearts and opens opportunity to share the Lord with them. To find this woman took a bit of effort as they live in a section of town that is built in disarray, the small houses are on odd lots usually inhabited by squatting on vacant lands. She was referred to us by a friend of ours, a simple Christian woman who lives in the area and keeps her eyes and heart open to the needy people around her.





Ana is another pregnant mother Adrian and Wilbur ran into in Santa Maria de Jesus (a small town in Guatemala), her husband works far away in the fields and is able to provide very little for Ana, many young families live in this type of situation. Ana had absolutely nothing for her baby and was so touched to recieve some things to use for her newborn. She also prayed with them to recieve the Lord and sends her thanks to those who provided for her baby.
