Since the beginning of DTS, I've liked Sandra. She's got a beautiful smile that matches her sweet spirit. Even though she doesn't say a whole lot during class, I can tell she's focused and weighing everything she hears. I love listening to her pray. A few weeks ago, our DTS did an intense wilderness training week that involved sleeping under the stars, doing your business behind bushes, killing chickens for supper, and probably the most difficult task: hiking over 22 miles in 4 days up and down mountains with heavy backpacks. Sandra had never been hiking before, so this experience was more than difficult for her. Even in moments when I could see the exhaustion in her eyes as she looked up the mountain, I never heard her complain. During this training, each student also had the responsibility of leading their team for several tasks. Sandra, who is normally quiet and shy, stepped out of her comfort zone to stand on her own two feet and lead the team on the at the end of the hardest day of hiking. She was the heart of our team, and all of us learned a lot about humility and stick-to-it-ness from her.Sandra and another student, Esteban
Walking down a dusty back road picking up trash, I had a chance to find out more about her. She's from Mexicali, a town about 1-2 hours from TJ, where her 2 siblings and a passel of nieces and nephews live. She was the peacemaker in her family when her brother and sister got into it growing up. As I ask questions about her life and family, I can hear the love caress her words and almost giggle out of her. I'm excited to get to know Sandra more as we travel and minister in Southern Mexico. We leave December 16th, just two and half weeks! Sandra is excited too, but she still needs all of the $2,800 that pays for her transportation, housing, food, and ministry costs. You can be a part of helping this overcomer share Jesus with the people of Mexico. Would you considering partnering with her in prayer and finances?
