This lady did! Meet Garnet, on the left, a medical missionary who 43 years ago, abandoned her comfortable life in the states to start what became Medical Evangelism in Mexico. Dan and I stayed with her last summer on our first (of hopefully many!) mission trip. We'll be returning in June. Garnet was married with two very young sons when she started this journey. The Lord called her to serve. She had little knowledge of the Spanish language or the culture in the mountains of Central Mexico. She had no medical training at all! Yet she began saving lives and souls immediately. Oh, the stories she can tell. When I have more time, I'll recount some of them here. Garnet has probably faced more challenges in a week than most of us endure in a lifetime. Through prayer and God's grace, she not only survives, she thrives!!!Thank you, Garnet, for so graciously letting me photograph you. Isn't she the most adorable lady? She hated getting her photo taken, and yet she did it so well! Please pray for Garnet as she travels in the states through the middle of May and then returns to the people in Mexico who love her so much! Pray for her mission, the lives she's touched and those that she will come into contact with in the future. And pray for Dan and I as we prepare for our second trip. (Pray that we'll learn some Spanish in the meantime, too!)
The lady on the right is Gay Sybert, who has become a tremendous role model for me! She is AMAZING. She has the talent of Martha Stewart and the heart of Mother Theresa. Gay -- and her family -- have been a real blessing to me and my family. I can't wait to continue our growing friendship in Mexico this summer!
