Rivera Family, October and November 2024
Our Family
Its been a crazy days, weeks, months, years, life for us as a family and individual, always something its happening, always new adventures, and God is in each one of them.
Azaff has a high pain tolerance so, every time he let us know something its not ok we act right away, he continue with the treatment for seizure. On November 5 Azaff had a Surgery for appendicitis stage 2, it was a intense time waiting for results to know what was happening.
We went to a private hospital for the MRI, tests and labs Azaff need, when we had the results we move from there to a public General Hospital in Ensenada, where they performed the surgery, he spent a few days because when they did the surgery it was already stage 3, so it was perforated and purulent. I’m so grateful for this hospital, we only pay for the tests and meds that the hospital didn’t have, but the doctors and nurses where so incredible good and attentive to us. When Azaff was home I went back to thank to them with a little detail, specially a nurse and pediatrician, they where so grateful.
A doctor order a MRI for my lower back since February, in July I finally did the MRI, 3 vertebras are almost with hernias, I’m on pain medication and trying to keep loosing weight to relieve pain.
My sister Conchita keeps dealing with the menopause and having so much issues because of it, she’ll be 50 years old next month, I have learn so much from her, even everything she is goin through she loves to help cleaning and giving foot massages to us and staff at the Mission.
God provides, He is present in every adventure as a family and at home and we will continued serving Him with our hearts no matter what.
Mi husband keep working hard on the locksmith and with the Mission responsibilities to keep providing for Azaff medication and treatment, and every need for all of us.
Abdiel and Azaff keep doing homeschool every day.
Our Ministry!!
For two weeks we have a school of discipleship from Brookings, Oregon, along with the Belt family, it is always a blessing to have old friends-family at home.
Alonso (from the Bastidas, one of the families serving here) was working on the retaining wall behind our house at the Mission, the same wall that was ruined 7 years ago because of the raining a few days before Christmas when our house got flood in, well, the retaining wall is finished!! so grateful for Alonso, Belo and every person that work on it and the people that donate to make it possible, God is so good and faithful, I can see Him in everything.
A ministry comes monthly to donate beans, rice, oatmeal, eggs, etc., they use to support the orphanage I grow up in and they keep doing it, but now in the orphanage we serve in, this always bless my heart so much. I thank God for the beautiful ministry of MCCA.
The wheelchairs, clothing, food, etc. we have extra or don’t need at the moment we donate to people that contact us asking for help or for people at the ejido we know they are in need.
A group from Edgewater was here they cook every day the week of Thanksgiving and some helped with the construction on the Ahumada’s house.
Kaylese visiting home, she was here for the Thanksgiving week, always a joy to have her home, she is a sister-daughter, always brings to much joy and fun days when she is here.
We didn’t have the school of discipleship a Church wanted to do for 3 months but even that 2 ladies that planned to be part of that came to the Mission and serve here the time they suppose to be here, Elaina from Ohio and Lisa from Oregon, a beautiful blessings for us all to have them here.
It was a blessing to have Gedeon, Cora and baby Phoebe Delgado at the Mission for a few months. We said good bye to them recently. They where part of the Mission daily tasks with joy, I miss them already.
