Two years ago, I found myself in a season of uncertainty. while my friends were getting married, moving, and starting new adventures, I felt stuck, like my life was on pause. I’m someone who’s always had a plan, but at the moment, I couldn’t see what was next. I was stressed and worried, relaying not on a salary but on God’s provision. That’s when El Roi, the God who sees all, already had a plan in motion. Ancla de Amor was looking for someone with my exact background, and through a beloved sister, the opportunity came to me. That’s how I arrived at Ancla. 

My two years at Ancla de Amor were full of learning and adjustment, getting used to the climate, the children, and the unique “Mexican-Canadian” culture. And just as I adapted to them, they adapted to me. It was a beautiful season of growth where I had the honor of working with my brothers and sisters in Christ to bring care, love, and stability to children in vulnerable situations. 
Through it all, I saw God faithfulness in action, His provision, protection, and purpose in my life. Like the psalmist, I often ask myself ” Who am I, that God would think of me?” And yet, He chose me to be part of His work.  

Now, this page has come to an end, and although is hard to say goodbye, im filled with gratitude. I thank God, the leadership of Ancla, the staff, and especially the children who touch my heart in countless ways. They fulfilled every promise and gave more than expected. I pray God blesses their lives and ministry deeply. As I move forward, I hope to continue saying “yes” tp God’s cal, whether that means serving in Mexico or wherever he leads me next.
Ancla de Amor will always be a home of peace and goodness in my heart.

With deep love: Violeta L.
