Sharing gifts sent by First Baptist Southern PInes

First Baptist Church of Southern Pines was busy long before September 6. During the year they have collected items for hygiene kits, soap and wash cloth, tooth brushes and toothpaste, beanie babies and onsies and blankets for the children and babies in the Choluteca hospital, and they came with one more new idem this year, dresses for little girls ages two to ten. One night as we were sharing what and how to distribute them items we decided to let the two ladie, Joy and Karen on the team to go and spend the morning with us and deliver some items. All was well with them going until the team leader, George, found out Egla was going too. Well George soon got over the fact we were taking his translator when he found out how many blessings we had that morning. So off we go. The first home we stopped at there were eight children and there were several of the girls who could wear the dresses. So we left this family with several dresses and gave each family member hygiene kits. Before we left we prayed with the family and received numerous hugs of gratitude for their gifts. Off we went yet to another home which we will be building in the fall to let her know she was getting a home. Joy and Karen also shared hygiene kits with this family and once again we prayed with the family. This family had just lost their pastor and she was in tears of their loss. So God put us their with hope for her in his timing and not ours. Thank you God for leading us there on that day at that time. God is good all the time. Off we go again to yet another family with eight children and shared some more dresses and hygiene kits. We had an appointment at the hospital at 10 so we quicky headed in that direction. Upon the arrival at the hospital the Administrator to the supply room, Neives, was waiting with a big smile on her face. She had taken the onesies and blankets we had delivered the day before and put them in a yellow or blue gift bag depending on the gendor. She had organized for the women to come who were there waiting to deliver or for a check up to receive their gifts. After this Joy and Karen and Egla headed to the C-section wing to hand out more gift bags and also beanie babies to the babies. They were allowed to go in where the new borns were located. They geared up in gowns and went with their gift bags and saw actually a baby who was only five minutes old. Then off to the Peds wing where there were numerous ages of children in the hospital with various things going on. This wing has actually just been remodeled and had rooms for seperate illnesses. This was so great to see. So as you see we had a very amazing morning sharing all the items First Baptist Southern Pines has collected and made. Karen shared each Wednesday night they would meet to work on the dresses and share fellowship together. Because of their time and effort many children were blessed. Thank you for your giving hearts those who could not be here but were here in spirit.
