Happy morning

We are Lucía and Jose and we want to tell what we did this saturday when we went to Liz's with Laura. That morning we recieved 5 girls. 4 of them were spanish speakers, so we were able to counsel them in our native language, which made our work much easier. All their stories were very hard. At the beginning, it seemed that all the girls were very convinced about get an abortion. We needed to think the best words and reasons to show to each girl, because their circumstances were quite different between them. After talking with the girls in different ways, and showing them the abortion procedures video, we were very happy to see that 3 of the girls were almost sure to keep the baby.

They were 27, 17, and 23 years old. The last one wasn't so decided, but at the same time she was the one with the most advanced pregnancy (almost 20 weeks), and the abortion was going to cost about 2.000 $, and even not being a reason about conviction but of money, it will be very helpful to realize her that it would be even more expensive the abortion than keeping the baby (her main reason for abortion was the lack of money).

Tomorrow we'll meet the 17 years old girl, whose mother was talking with Laura while we were with the girl. This was very helpful because the mother was encouraging the girl to keep the baby after our counseling.

We'll continue writing this about these stories. We need your prayers!
