Apolonia is grateful to the Lord because her three daughters are working, and she also thanks God for Ana’s graduation. She says she has no way to repay all the support the Ministry has given her with her daughters’ education, and she asks the Lord to continue blessing them. To each person and to the ministry that supported her and her daughters.

She is also concerned about her father, who’s health has declined recently. Additionally, her own health has been suffering as she has been diagnosed with diabetes and losing weight. The girls are caring well for her and making sure she is being careful with her diet and medicine.

One final thing that we want to ask for prayer. We just discovered that Ana is also 5 months pregnant. It turns out that once she turned 18, she started dating the same guy she ran away with a couple of years ago. Apolonia was devastated when she found out and didn’t want to tell us for all that Olga did to help get Ana back. Because of her sensitive health status, Apolonia got sick for a couple of weeks. Ana is now 18, and her boyfriend spoke with Apolonia, promising to take care of the child but we have seen many times when the man doesn’t follow through with his responsibilities. Please pray that this situation doesn’t affect them negatively. As we explained to Apolonia, a new life is always a blessing, despite the situation.

Please continue to pray for this family that is now self-sustainable! They even began working on their house and building it up on their own! In February, when we visited with the team, it was surprising to see that they were working on a new wall on one of the sides of their domicile. We continue to monitor their progress and encourage them.
