A lot has happened since I have updated my blog. The biggest news is David Meza and I were married on February 22, 2010 (in Ecuador). David and I have been such great friends, that I couldn't imagine my life without him. We are in the application process of a residency visa so David can come to the US and live with me. We are waiting for an appointment with the consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and expect that he will be able to come here by September. Please pray with us during this time apart (Praise God for video conferencing!)As you may remember, I came back to Michigan to help my mom with her healthcare. She had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease by three doctors. Her decline in health during my last visit (November, 2009) made me realize that something wasn't right and I felt God's leading to come home.
I took her to see a Chiropractor/Nutritionist and her health has improved significantly! He tested her and said that her body was not absorbing vitamins and minerals and put her on a diet that has helped her digestion. Also, the adjustments to her spine have helped her be able to walk better and more flexibility. Some deep tissue massages also helped loosen up those tight muscles and make her more flexible. There is still more to be healed, and we ask for your continued prayers and praises for what God has done and will continue to do in her life.
I returned to work at Ducker Worldwide, the company I worked at before leaving for Ecuador. I was so thankful that they welcomed me back with open arms and same benefits and pay! They are flexible with my hours so I can take mom to see the doctor or massage therapist.
David is working at Desempre! He has had a couple of jobs that did not work out, long hours and little pay or dishonesty in the work philosophy. Desempre is a company owned by three Christian brothers who have integrity and a desire to bless their employees and everyone they have an opportunity to serve. It is a blessing to us that he has a place to work and be encouraged until he can come to the US.
Thank you again for all your prayers and encouragement.
Blessings and joy,
Lorena Ferrari (de Meza)
