Saints,

Pastor Flip wanted me to share this letter and picture with you all as an encouragement to keep up the good fight of faith for the lives of the little children that are sentenced to die each day at abortion mills all across our country. When this young lady came to the mill four years ago --I remember I was near my car getting something out of it and she ran into my arms crying. Her mom and boyfriend were right behind her trying to force her to abort. She saw the signs with the pictures of the aborted babies and she did not want to do that to her child. It was a long ugly battle with her mom. She made a big scene yelling and screaming. She even tried to get the police officer to make her go in for the abortion. Officer Woods was on duty that day and told her he could not do that, it was her decision. Mia's mom was so mad at her she said she could not come home. Mia went over Debbie Turner's house and our houses until her parents settled down. We stood by her through the whole pregnancy. We did many bible studies in their home with the three daughters and the mom. We helped them with their financial and spiritual needs. It was not done in vain. God's word does not return void.

Below is the letter from Mia:

Dearest Marilyn and Carmen,

Even though we haven't spoken in so long I want you to know that you will always have my love. I think about you everyday. I am reminded of you and Ms. Carmen each time Destinn gives me a kiss and a hug. All I ever wanted was to be loved and needed. Through sin, God gave me a gift. I loved it before I knew it and I worried that I'd be forced to give it away.

I thank God for his angels that had been there that morning to have given me shelter to run to. The night before, I prayed for you and Carmen.  Sure enough you defended my baby -- you saved my life and gave enough for Destinn to have life. On May 24, 2003 I gave birth to the most beautiful baby boy with all your love and support.

When Destinn is old enough, I will tell him about the two most wonderful angels that saved him and protected him from the evil because God loved him so much. I know that Destinn will always love and thank his angels that saved and protected his life. You will never be forgotten and will always stay in our hearts.

I can never thank you enough for the greatest gift. Whenever he smiles, runs to me for a big hug, and every "I love you Mommy". May the Lord bless his angels! Now I feel needed and loved so much by my little man, more than ever. Destinn is four years old now and I have learned over the years that God has His ways and His ways are bigger. When something is almost impossible to manage, He has His ways to make everything work out just fine, if you give it all to Him.

I love you- Mia and Destinn
