Last time, I mentioned a little bit about the baby down the street we were concerned for. Bianca (16 days old) caught some kind of sickness from her siblings and started having respiratory problems. (This is the little sister of the children and girls that we have spend a lot of time with.) Anyhow, we were very concerned for her so the Donell's took her an hour away to a "better" hospital that could care for infants under 1 month. When they got there, doctors rushed on her and put her in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). She was in very critical condition last night. This morning, Mr. Donell took the mother, Letisia, back to the hospital and had a wonderful opportunity to share the Gospel with her.

To all of our surprise, the baby is now doing much better. She is now off oxygen and all medicines but will stay in the hospital for several more days. The Lord was so gracious to heal her so quickly and on top of that, open these doors for the Gospel. Just an example, when the mother came by to tell Mrs. Donell the good news, she was so elated and relieved. She asked Mrs. Donell how to thank the Lord or what special prayer she could say. Mrs. Donell told her to come before the Lord just like her children would come thank her. I think that the Lord is using this opportunity to soften the parents' hearts and make them ready to hear the Gospel. Please pray that the Lord would make their hearts receptive to the Gospel.

Resting in a Sovereign God,
