This is the story of Gregoria Sandoya. Her daughter walked with her over 2 hours to the town where Alan and I did screening eye exams. Gregoria is 83 and blind in both eyes. She lives in a little village near where our gardener’s family is from. Gregoria could see nothing but a faint light if shined directly into her eye. Her cataracts were so severe; Alan was hesitant to choose her as a candidate for surgery. I prayed as he thought about it and he decided to let her come. She and many others came to the mission on one of our buses. The ophthalmologists saw over a hundred cases. I was allowed to watch her surgery and her postop care. It was a great success. She can know see out of the eye they did surgery. After they left I told Christina, my gardener’s wife that Gregoria had come from near her village in the comarca. Then I was blown away. Turns out Gregoria is Christina’s grandmother. God blesses us with such wonderful surprises!
