Hacienda Of Hope

After years of being told by doctors they could not have other children, Martin & Lorena share their excitement in having God answer their prayers for another child. In this picture, Martin, Lorena along with Pat & I break the news to the Twickenham group here last week! The happy news was short lived however as Lorena suffered unusual pain in her side sending them to the doctor last Friday. The doctor warned it could be a "tubule pregnancy" and scheduled more test on Tuesday (this morning). Everyone who knew of this extremely dangerous situation was in serious prayer for the life of Lorena as well as the baby all weekend! I tried to brace myself for the bad news and spent time with Martin in prayer on Sunday and Monday. Today, the doctor was able to confirm that the baby and Lorena were both doing excellent and even gave us pictures of the healthy baby! He did warn Lorena to "slow down" and not be lifting heavy things which caused the pain in her side last week. What a relief for all of us ...we all cried for joy as we very thankfully prayed to God for this wonderful news! My heart is much lighter tonight as I proudly publish this wonderful announcement! The Lord willing, the baby will be arriving in it's loving home with lots of anxious family in June, 2006!
