Tuesday - work day and later a reward - the orphanage







Sandy Dunn -It's like a dream being here.  Ecuador is beautiful and the Ecuadorians even more so.  Today we continue to build and beautify the home for teenage moms and their babies.  We're all so motivated to work at super human effort to make the home an even more peaceful sanctuary before our Gloria comes home.  Gloria was rushed to the hospital with pregnancy complications several days ago.  The doctors were hoping to prolong the pregnancy for several more weeks because the baby was not yet viable.  Unfortunately things took a turn for the worse, and emergency surgery delivered her dead baby.  An unbearable trial for anyone, let alone a 12 year old.  Today, every shovel full of dirt to build a fence in which the children will play is for Gloria.  Today, every tree chopped down so the moms can see the snow capped mountains at sunrise is for Gloria. Today, patching the roof to keep the families inside warm and dry is for Gloria. Thank you Lord for giving us the privilege to serve.
