Who do you Love
Finding here in Mexico money talk. There is a twenty year old neices of one of our group who was in an accident. Her Aunt talk her into having a blessing for the sick. We could not go over as we had a full day. Call the missionary because there two of them for the blessing of the sick. They were to meet the Aunt at 9:00 oclock at a fountain. She was late and they had other appointment. They left. She did not get a blessing. Brent call to check on her and maybe lineup another time for the blessing. She was laughing have a good time with visiter. She was Ok and really did not act like she wanted a blessing. We did not worry about it.
Two weeks later we went by the house of the aunt and she ask us for a ride over to the hospital be visit with the gal because she was receiveing blood. Nobody was there to help her or be with her. I was surprized because you always need someone there to help you, like to get the medicine and help with other needs. I asked Otilia if she could still use a blessing because it was unusual to get blood at this point. We were picking up the elders and would be there to give her a blessing. After the blessing , we talked to her for a while and then we left to go to our visit with the elders. Later that night Otilia called and said that there was a problem and if we could help her. To make a long story short, nobody was helping the gal in the hosptial for 5 days. With no help, the doctors could not give her any medicine because someone needs to be there to buy the medicine for the doctors to use. With out this help, she would lose her arm because of the infestions. So it was time to go to the people that caused the accident and ask for money and help. We found them and they did not want to give use any help. Only ask us to get a paper signed to release their car so it could be sold then they said that they could give us some money. We told them that we needed the money now and not tomorrow. The reason that the hospital will not give us the paper is because they need a guarantee for payment. In the end, we got some promises to help and 300 pesos. A begining of the resolve for her, we hope. Down here very few people have insurance and thats why if the family dose not stay involved the people are left on their own with out help. The only reason that she receaved blood at all was that one of the nurses took pitty on her and used her own money to help. So there are some, good people down here trying to do the right thing. It's just really hard because of the way the system works here. And last but not least was the fact that after the blessing, the gal said that she felt better. She wanted to change, the way she was living her life and to put the Lord back into her life. Her family had left her there alone and if it wasn't for the help of her aunt and the church, things would have been alot different for her. The guy responible for the accident will not even go to the hospitial to work out bill. Hoping money will soon be coming to help. It's not over yet but it's a begenning
We all could use a good saumarition ?
