We had an emotional and Holy Spirit–inspired mission.
The spirit of this trip was captured by beautiful Kendra, a 12-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was born with blinding congenital cataracts. Her mother had taken her to two eye surgeons who refused to operate, believing the surgery would not help her.
When Kendra saw María José, our optometrist, we discussed her case and believed there was hope that she could see. We decided to remove one of the cataracts. Kendra laid beautifully still on the operating table, and the surgery went perfectly.
The next day, her sobbing mother told us that Kendra had fed herself for the first time in 12 years.
God’s generosity can never be outdone.
Molly, Tammy, Ken, the rest of our Mexican volunteers, and I were blessed to share in yet another of His miracles.
Thank you to everyone who prayed for our stamina!
