ed's final thoughts from recent trip.

Hola:
I am currently on pacific mountain eastern standard time. I begin this blog with some sad news. A young girl at the Gabriel House recently died of complications from chicken pox. Her name was ROSA and she was the youngest of four sisters. Shortly after hearing the news, I was reminded of God's word in which it says, " God created us in the PALM of His HAND ". Although her death came as a shock to many people, God knew when her time here on earth would be through. Please continue to pray for her sisters and the staff at the Gabrielle House.
On a different note, When I left the Gabrielle House last Sunday morning, I was saying goodbye to a little five year old girl playing on the swing set. My heart was telling me that it wasn't going to be a long Good-bye this time and that I would be returning in the near future.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing with the older boys and coloring with the little ones. The children taught me how to speak Spanish and our hosts were extremely encouraging and supportive.
Please continue to pray for Me and Jill and for God's direction for the Gabriele House!
Sincerely, Senor Edwardo
