Lori and i went down to Ontario CA to see Ana Maria over Labor Day weekend. We came back very possibly more blessed than she was by our visit. We were able to discuss her faith as she is facing a great trial in the sickness her body is fighting. She is an inspiration to us and a great example of why we do college age ministry. As she faces the treatments for the illness, it was very obvious that her confidence in Christ is carrying her through. Her faith is amazing... She told us that she sees where the Lord has saved her many times before. First in being orphaned in Romania and then being placed up for adoption with a family coming from the states and bringing her to Salem Oregon. Most importantly in the Lord saving her back in October 2007 when she first believed on Christ for salvation; in His death burial and resurrection for her sins. She is very glad she heard the gospel when she did, because she was feeling great fear over her symptoms, though she did not know at the time what was wrong. Immediately after being saved, she said she felt great calm in knowing God was with her. She now sees God's hand in the doctors finding out what is wrong. She knows she is in His palm, though the treatments are difficult. Very cool... A very neat trip with many other things we will discuss with you all later. Please continue to pray for her as she will stay down in California. The family she is with, is a blessing from God, as they are committed to helping her get through the treatments. They and we desire to see her healthy again. Please as you pray for Ana Maria, pray for the family she is with as well.
