God's timing is truly amazing!
Marvin's grandmother died in late
January. Her passing was glorious in some ways and sad in others.
Now, a few weeks after his grandmother's death, Marvin has been
reunited with his mom for the first time since he was just a few
months old! In early March, Marvin's cousin, who lives near
Marvin's mom, showed up at his father's house. He knew where
Marvin's mom lived and offered to take him to see her.
The following day, Marvin made the trip. It was an eight
hour trip, four hours on paved roads and four hours on difficult
mountain passes. He finally arrived at her house at 10:30 p.m.
When Marvin introduced himself, his mom, Reina, stared at him in
shock for several minutes...she couldn't believe it! Once she got
over her shock, she invited them into her mountainside house and
woke up Marvin's five half brothers! They spent a long time
talking, even though there's no electricity in the house and the
family usually goes to bed with the sun at 7:00! Marvin spent the
night with them, and they spent most of the next morning talking!
He also helped his newly found brothers milk their cows and make
juice out of sugarcane. All of the neighboring families showed up
at the house to meet Marvin. When they got ready to leave, his mom
didn't want him to go! We praise the Lord that Marvin has
finally been able to know his mom!

| Eryck, the youngest
Micah boys, turned thirteen on March 3! The only word out of
his mouth the entire month before was "bicicleta".
Well, that's what he got for his birthday! He was so excited
that we thought he'd sleep with his bike that night! He also
invited his mom and his six brothers and sisters to celebrate his
birthday with him. |

| It's great to see
Danilo in scrubs! He and the other boys assisted our
dental team, which made its annual trip from Houston in
February. Eighteen people came down to do dentistry in Villa
Linda Miller and at the Hogar Amor y Esperanza. After so many
years, of faithful ministry, this group is truly an important part
of the Micah family! |
