I was blessed to accompany Esthelita to some of these meetings along with visiting nieces and our partnership coordinator. The experience of walking through the halls of La Clinica where she served for nearly 50 years was truly humbling. Superman visiting a children's medical wing wouldn't have received as many hugs, kisses and tear filled testimonies of changed lives as did Esthelita. People couldn't help but share how the Lord used her in both miraculous and mundane ways. We couldn't take 5 steps without a patient, doctor, nurse or desk clerk pouring out gratitude for this small (perhaps 5'2") giant of the faith! I hope to share more on this experience in the near future. For now, please pray for our "retirees" who often continue to serve well into their "golden years" . Pray also for those nearing retirement, that the Lord would guide and provide as they follow him in to a new phase of life. |
