Crying as I write this amazing story! I tried to look at my facebook and find a before picture from 5 years ago and from 3 years ago! But God in His infinite wisdom did not allow it and does not look at our past but holds our today in His hand! 

This amazing woman of God is saved and healed and telling everyone she meets about it! Her whole person radiates Jesus inside and out! She loves Him and well as you know He is crazy about her! I was able to spend the afternoon with her the other day and as she says, why are you surpirsed, did you expect anything less from your prayers! Do you think God did not hear you! 

Although she and Paulino have been friends for years when I met her in the trash dump over 5 years ago I connected with her instantly. She later told me how she had come back from Chicago after her divorce and fell into the life that lead her to be called Flaka which meant skinny. Over 3 years ago when we first moved the trailer near my mother in laws she heard we were leaving and came crying no Jesus needs you in Camalu! She was so elated when I told her we were actually moving here! However I only seen her a few times after that! Later on I was told she was serving God and converted into one of us! 

I praise God there is a church two hours south of here that goes into the trash dump and loves on the people and invites them to come as they are into their church! One day we will go there and say thank you! But their reward is in Heaven as it is for all of those of you who have prayed for her and so many others at the dumps! Ministering to addicts is a very dry harvest but GOD!!!! 

 My sheep recognize my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them real and eternal life. They are protected from the Destroyer for good. No one can steal them from out of my hand. The Father who put them under my care is so much greater than the Destroyer and Thief. No one could ever get them away from him. I and the Father are one heart and mind.”
