This is a picture of Magdalena (striped shirt) and her younger sister, Deysi. These two beautiful sisters are now also sisters in Christ. In September, Magdalena was introduced to our group by Carlos, one of the students at the preaching school. Because of her past, she was not very comfortable around men and was more comfortable in a study with just women. She was baptized during the week and then brought her Deysi to study with us the next day. Later in the week Deysi was baptized.
During the course of the week we were also able to schedule a time for Magdalena to talk with Cathy and work through some of her problems in her past. Our group developed very strong bonds with Magdalena, Deysi, and their two younger sisters. They have no strong male figures in their life and developed a close and trusting relationship with Jim. The four sisters have a mother who is emotionally crippled and currently has no desire to be involved in church activities but we pray that she will see Christ at work in her daughters' lives and want to know more.
Several of the teens reached out and welcomed Magdalena and Deysi into their group at church and assured us they will keep them involved and help them in their daily walk with God. Please pray for them and their two sisters and mother.
Dios le bendiga,
Lori
