PAULINA'S NEW LIFE!

What a life Paulina has had! 

When she was young, her mother abandoned the family and Paulina dropped out of 3rd grade to do all with the household chores. When her father left a couple years later, Paulina (at the age of 13) was left to care for her 3 younger sisters. She became pregnant, and at 14 years delivered twin girls in her simple thatched roofed, dirt floored house in rural Paraguay.

She began attending Bible studies because her neighbor/relative, Zulma invited her. She started hearing things that sounded familiar.  She remembered finding a little Bible in a trash heap behind her relative's house and staying up late into the night reading it.  But at 10 years of age, there was a lot she didn't understand.  Years later, with the help of missionaries, she was able to ask her questions.  She found that little Bible again and began to practice her reading (a skill that was very rusty).    

Today when I look at her, I see the Lord radiating from her face.  Her husband is now a believer too and they actively study God’s word together. What an incredible legacy they are leaving to their 4 small children! Pray that they will continue to be faithful to God’s word.  Pray for Paulina’s husband who recently was nominated for and accepted a deacon position.
