Gratitude


We are writing to thank you for your support of MDA that, in turn, gives us the opportunity to be messengers of your love for many of the forgotten ones in Guatemala.

We realize more and more each day that our time here is a reflection of the love and support you give and have given. 

Your prayers are heard as Jennifer manages a 15 year old, scared pregnant girl in labor, providing a safe and caring place for both mom and babe. 

Your love is seen as our child asks why the elderly women is picking up the pieces of corn off the ground and with our answer of “because she is hungry” our child gives the 2 Q she had for ice-cream to the woman. 

Your teachings of love, knowledge, patience and hope are felt each day as the challenges in front of us dissipate with a hug and thank you from a patient.

Your kind words are heard in the early morning as the birds, singing outside our  window, tell us a new day has come with new hope of a better day for the forgotten ones who will not be forgotten today. 

Peace
Brent, Jennifer, Christopher, Elizabeth, Julianne and Nicholas
