Marina

Marina. A sweet little girl barely as big as her 4 years. Marina has Downs Syndrome, but that doesn't stop her smiles and waves when she sees you. She is one special little girl. Gladys, who works every day at the ministry cleaning both of our buildings with Dalila, is Marina's mom, Raymundo's sister, Adrian and Astrid's cousin. It's taken a very long time, a very special school, and an awesome God, but Marina's been making such amazing progress this year. Gladys will often stop by to tell us one more word that her little girl can say or one more thing that she can do, for each is quite an accomplishment and cause for rejoicing!

The past few weeks, however, Gladys has stopped by more often to express her concern over tests that Marina will be having this week. They think there is a hole in her heart and the family is so anxious about the results of these tests. We cry, we hold each other, and we pray for this sweet little child of God...Marina... Please join us as we lay Marina and her family in the hands of their loving Lord...
