In this journey as a single wife, I am searching diligently to find purpose and joy in this unexpected twist called widowhood. I pray and look expectantly for Him to open doors for me to serve.Our church took a medical mission trip to Ecuador this fall and the door swung wide open for me to go. I had never been out of the country yet a friend had asked me to go with them to get a passport about a year ago and I applied and got mine as well. Then a new friend wanted me to go with her on this mission trip and the timing was perfect for me to go. What a blessing that trip was!! The people were precious and the needs so great. Having been a caregiver for so many years to my daughter, the role of triage person--interviewing the people via an interpreter to find out their greatest needs--and then sending them on to the appropriate doctor--fit me like a glove. I felt very fulfilled to have a small role in helping a very needy people..the Quechua Indians. Thank you, Lord, for helping me find new areas of service and fulfilment.
