I just spent the weekend in the White Mountains with some other women from our church. We were there to do some volunteer work for a fabulous ministry in Show Low. The lady who runs the ministry, whose daughter was one of the women from our church, is dynamic and full of faith and passion. It was great touring the women's clinic, where they can even do an ultrasound for women whose pregnancy tests come up positive. They do counseling and education there, and they have a store where the women can buy things for their babies with "money" earned by taking classes. There's also a maternity home for pregnant women/girls and their babies. I loved spending time with the young woman living there now, and her amazingly sweet 6mo baby.
We spent all day Saturday working hard, unloading and sorting donations for Dinah's latest enterprise: a resale boutique. Some of the other women spent their day painting and organizing at the boutique, a weird building with lots of odd rooms off of other rooms. We got to sleep at the house parents' cottage.
I can't wait to go again. I loved seeing what God is doing there, how many women and babies are being helped. I hope more women will join us next time.
