| Introduction | Crecí en un pueblo Zapoteco en Oaxaca, desde 1951. Estudíe medicina en la UNAM, y desde 1975 trabajé, junto con mi esposo David, en otro pueblo Zapoteco en una clínica médica. Tenemos tres hijos mayores de edad, y una hija adoptiva, Esperanza, quien falleció en el 2004. Hemos viajado en casi todos los países Latino Americanos que tienen grupos étnicos. Publicamos la Guía Mundial de Oración para México, desde hace 10 años. I grew up in a Zapotec Indian village since 1951, then became a doctor at the UNAM. My husband, Dave Gutierrez, and I lived in another Zapotec village, Loxicha, from 1975 until 1995, doing community service and running a medical clinic. Since 1984 we have worked with Gospel Recordings, preparing and distributing evangelical material for the ethnic groups of Latin America. I have traveled in many South American countries, and visited Singapore and Spain. From 1993 I was the adoptive mother of a severly handicapped child, Esperanza, who died in 2004, from complications of VACTERL syndrome. I also have 3 grown children, Isaiah and Tava, who are 28, and Gabriel, who is 25. Recently I have been writing some stories that I want to share. I hope you like them. |
