Visits with the saints!

Dear readers,
I have been incredibly blessed to be able to visit living saints! Today I visited Dona Maria, she is a 62 year old woman who takes care of her house, took care of her aging mother, is one of the happiest women I have ever met and she has no legs. When she was 2 years old a sickness came and their familie's only option was amputation. She has the most beautiful smile, tends to her plants, her cat and dog, her husband, her birds, the cooking and she walks on her hands. She is one of the holiest, most humble, prayerful woman I have ever met! She is constatnly praying for us missionaries and all who visit her! Another woman I have had the blessing to meet is Dona Juanita. She is a beautiful woman who has a positive outlook on life and relies completely on God. SHe is 116 years old, that is not a typo, one-hundred-sixteen years old! She is cared for by her 2nd to youngest son who is 85. She sits in the sun, feeds her chickens and just recently stopped hand making her own tortillas. She always is wearing a colurful sweater and a leapord hat. She has the sweetest voice and always laughs. She is the oldest person in the world that I know of, but it cant be proved because they lost her birth certificate. Just recently the oldes recorded peron in the wolrd died, they were 114. Well I have to go!
Peace and Love in Christ,
Alyse
