Mariluz and her sister Nicol recently celebrated their birthdays.. and we were invited to the party! Betty has a humble home with dirt floors. She moved the beds out of the bedroom, which was turned into the party room. One little light bulb hanging from the ceiling was all that illuminated the place.
Betty served the typical party food- jello, rice pudding and mazamorra (a peruvian gelatin type snack). She insisted over and over that we serve ourselves more! Her hospitality was apparent even though she was so busy and stressed with the final preparations we hardly had time to even take these photos of her with the girls!
Pray for Betty, Mariluz and Nicol. The girls' father left the country for work right after Nicol was born, and hasn't been back yet. He still keeps contact with them and sometimes sends money. Betty has decided to follow Christ, but still has things in her life that are holding her from complete submission to God. She holds to many ancient Incan beliefs, which are highly supersticious and involve witchcraft. Ricky spoke to her about these things : although she seemed to take it well, she has not come back to church in the last few weeks. Pray for her
