Today, November 23 at 8:15 in the morning, Vickie Miller passed away. Vickie is the wife of Dave Miller, and they are the founders of Hogar de Esperanza. She was surrounded by her husband, daughters and family. Before she passed, her family read scriptures together, reassuring themselves that this life is temporal and our hope is in eternity with Christ. Vickie was a strong woman with a beautiful heart full of love, hope and the peace of God. Even in her pain, she reminded her family of God's faithfulness.Dave and Vickie's daughter, Mindy, wrote an email thanking all the people who have supported them, visited/called and prayed for them. Mindy asks for continued prayers for the family to feel God's grace as they suffer with their sorrow. Dave is grieving. He is sharing stories and memories about Vickie with his 4 daughters.
The staff, children and volunteers at the albergue are overwhelmed with sorrow. We would like to have a short service (here at the albergue) in her memory, including pictures and stories of Vickie. The service will be held Monday afternoon in Peru. Vickie loved the library that was started here at the orphanage. She spent her time in Peru organizing the books and working on reading programs with the children. In her honor, the staff, children and volunteers will purchase 50 new books for the library.

Joel and I continue to see God at work in the midst of trials, hardships and sorrow. We ask for your prayers and guidance as the Miller family grieves and as the orphanage continues without Vickie's amazing leadership.
