From a sweet girl to a sweet senorita

Recently we celebrated the 15th. Birthday of a girl who has grown in the Word of the Lord almost since she was born. Glendy is challenged with Down syndrome. Several years ago Elizabeth received a word from God that Glendy would one day become a secretary. Not long after, the Lord opened the doors for us to get Glendy into a private school dedicated to people challenged with Down syndrome. God has blessed her with many talents and now she is able to talk and be understood. In Guatemala a young girl celebrating her 15th birthday is somewhat like a sweet sixteen in North America. The young girl now becomes a senorita.
The new Church was full of people who came to celebrate with her. It was a beautiful ceremony, and a delicious lunch was served by the women of the community and the Church. We are proud of Glendy’s achievement and know that the Holy Spirit will guide her to a very productive and fruit full life. We do ask for continued prayer for Glendy and her Mom.
