I received an email this morning from Jackie that said the following, "I AM SORRY TO COMUNICATE THIS, BUT THE BABY THAT WE WERE HELPING , THE ONE WITH THE BRAIN OUT, JUST DIED. I CRY SO MUCH, BUT IT IS NOT ME WHO DECIDES WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES, SO I JUST ASK THE LORD TO:
#1 GIVE THE MOTHER STRENGTH TO COUP WITH THIS PAIN
#2 ALSO FOR US TO HAVE STRENGTH BECAUSE WE REALLY GOT ATTACHED TO THE BABY. I WAS PRAYING FOR THE LORD TO SAVE HER, WE EVEN WERE TRYING TO FIND SOME PLACE THAT COULD WORK WITH HER , BUT GOD DECIDED TO TAKE HER HOME WITH HIM.
SO I BETTER RESPECT THE LORD, NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS. SORRY TO GIVE YOU THIS TERRIBLE BAD NEWS."
So I pray for you little Ana Maria, that your journey to Heaven would be beautiful and that you would get to kiss the hands that created you. I pray for you mommy and your big brother and that they would grow closer to Jesus as they think about your life and miss you. As much as our hearts hurt knowing that you're no longer here, I pray that we would all thank God for healing you in His own mighty way. We love you Ana Maria.

Hi Tasha, Leigh Westraad here...I will be coming down with Jess next week. Someone completely unrelated to our church and your mission had heard about little Ana and had told me about her...so it breaks my heart to have to tell them she has gone home to Jesus...but also believe it was our mighty God's plan and mercy that she was born that way and then taken after such a short time. I know that we will see the answers to our questions someday. That doesn't make it easy, though.
At my kids school on Monday we had missionaries from Haiti talk to us, and I had shared about you in the DR...we all prayed our Heavenly Father's light and mercy and grace to be poured out over the whole of Hispaniola.
I am looking forward to being there. Please let me know by email if there is anything, absolutely anything, I can bring to help you there.
God's Peace~
Leigh
