Day 3 - LOI Puebla Mission Update (Part II)

Tuesday afternoon we visited Maria Louisa and her six girls in their home.  A quick summary of their story is Maria Louisa used to work for the DIF. She decided she wanted to quit her job and begin "fostering" girls in her home. The DIF placed six girls under her care. She solely relies on God's provision through donations, cutting hair, and selling crafts that the girls make. Last year, when the Swanson's were introduced to her, their home had a lot of work that needed to be done. We had been praying over the past year that God would continue to provide for their needs as well as the restorations that needed to be made to the home. During that time a non-believer who is an architect volunteered to refurbish their home and went above and beyond Maria Louisa's expectations and needs.  The Swanson also provided funds for them to buy bunk beds and furniture for the living room. It was amazing to see how God had answered our prayers and blessed her and the girls over the past year. Maria Louisa is now in process of adopting the girls. One of the six adoptions have been finalized. Due to complications from family members of the other girls the process has been delayed. So their prayer request is that family members have a change of heart and allow the girls to be adopted. As well as God speeding the process up through paperwork and finalization for the adoptions.
