Chigo comes to our mission house everyday to eat, bathe, and play. When he's not here, he sells homemade doughnuts. Even with a smile that could light up a room, he lives in incredibly rough conditions. Im beyond thankful that Chigo, like many others have our mission house to come to everyday to "escape" the world they live in. #missionaryatheart
Lela
We must be doing something right! Meet Lela (in wheelchair) a homeless and handicap woman who comes to the mission house everyday to eat. Today, Petete (one of our street kids) saw Lela coming down the street and he ran out to help her in the the mission house gate! My heart is so full! Actions speak so much louder than words! #missionaryatheart
Street Kids
These are not just street kids...they are my kids and I love them to pieces! Every single one of them! These boys teach me more about life every single day! And even when days get long and I don't have enough money or donations to go around...they make everything worth it! #missionaryatheart
Safe Place
Sometimes, our mission house is just a safe place where our street kids, like Petete, can come take a nap! #missionaryatheart
Baby Carolan
A few weeks ago, a friend of ours in the Dominican called me in tears. His pregnant wife was hemorrhaging and without the proper medical care his wife and unborn baby were both going to die. They needed to be sent to the Capitol for proper care and needed money to get there. I was able to get them rushed to the doctor by ambulance and after a few days of monitoring the 6 month pregnant wife, the doctors did an emergency c section. A 2lb 1oz baby was born and spend 2 weeks in the NICU. After lots of prayers, mom and baby are both doing great and are now back home in our little town in the Dominican. It is my honor to introduce to you, Baby Carolan! (Caroline in English). And what a blessing it is to have such a sweet friend name his baby after me! #missionaryatheart
