Prayer Request

Please pray for Susana and her family. They have had quite a month!

First, Francisco, her husband, left for the States to find work, leaving her with the three teenagers, no money to pay the rent, a house half built with workers working and bills to pay, a car that is not paid for.....well, you get the idea.

A few days later, her youngest sister, Ema, who attents church with us, went to the hospital to have her baby. She had some serious problems with high blood pressure, and ended up having an emergency c-section at 3:00am. Susana was at the hospital for 2 or 3 days with her.

Ema and her baby boy were only home about a week when her husband was in a serious car accident. He had surgery on his broken leg to put in some kind of a plate. He was home the next day, but within hours was taken back to the hospital by ambulance. It seems that he had some allergic reaction to the plate and/or medicine, and for the next few days was pretty serious with breathing problems. Now, a week later, he is doing better, but still in the hospital. Once again, Susana has been at the hospital a lot, and taking care of Ema, as well.

Just last night we went down to Susana's taco stand to eat, and found it closed. A bit later we ran into Susana, and found that her other sister, Conchi, had been in a car accident. Susana was on her way to the hospital, and we haven't heard any more this morning.

Through all of this Susana has been working, trying to get the roof poured on their house so they can move in and not have to be paying rent. All this, with no money and lots of debts left by her husband. It will be interesting to see if he finds a job and sends money down, and eventually returns.

So, please pray for Susana, and her kids, Mario, Alma and Jonathan.
