A True Gem!

Just found out yesterday that one our most revered Team Members, seen here "shimmying up a coconut tree" is having a lot of trouble with her knee. Now anyone who has been to Belize with her knows that she is not letting this knee trouble slow her down. Unfortunately, to slow down and rest that knee is what she needs for it to heal. Surgery has even been mentioned.

Her participation in the Blitz this year depends a lot on this knee. That is why I am posting and requesting your heartfelt prayers that her knee will get better. A Lot Better!

For those who don't know her, let me just tell you a little about her. She is over 80 years old and has been on the Blitz for the last three years. She cooks for the crowd at San Lazaro. She is the first one up in the morning and the last one to bed. Her dinner rolls are truly manna from heaven!

One new team member last year wanted to sit by her on the plane because his Mom had told him, if the plane went down, and he survived, he would want to be stranded with this Jewel because she could make a meal out of anything. He would not go hungry as long as she survived. She regularly attends Pleasant Grove MP near Clanton.

Pray that she gets better.....the Blitz would not be the same without her!
