Dear Steve,
I was one of your residency faculty at Mercy. Amal had forwarded your note. Very moved by the faith and missionary zeal of you and your family. I love the pictures of your patients. My mother had been very influenced by the wife of a C&MA pastor many years ago. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Laura Pimentel
Precious people! :) Thanks for the photographic reminder to pray!
Steve thank you for the pictures. They make your work so real. When I finished I wanted to cry for the pain that is with each patient but also the joy that you and your fellow drs. would choose to serve others in this manner and thus glorifying our Savior. May these pictures as I view them in my mind remind me to pray for not only your talents for the physical, but the spiritual and the emotional. God bless your Drs.
