Cases of Angela Ochoa and Gladys Lopez

The photos below are of Angela Ochoa and Gladys Lopez, who are two of our sisters at the Iglesia del Espiritu Santo. Angela had her left leg amputated two weeks ago due to cancer. She is one of the women from our parish that helped my wife prepare food for the mission team from Trinity Church in Staunton, Virginia. Our community has provided a little economic support to Angela. Gladys Lopez is the youth coordinator at our church. Her pregnancy has been extremely complicated due to the fact that the unborn baby does not have half of his brain. Neither does the child have a vertebral column. For Gladys and her husband it is an extremely painful situation, particularly given that this is their first child and the doctors have told them that the child will be born and shortly thereafter die.
