According to one of the team members, from the very start of this 40 Days for Life, ?everything has been very emotional and full of the presence of God.?

Lupita, one of the local leaders, said there haven?t been many problems with the Marie Stopes abortion facility staff this time, and there have been fewer instances of the police being called out to investigate complaints about the always peaceful, prayerful vigil.

?The most difficult thing has been the rain and cold, but our enthusiasm hasn't stopped,? she said. ?We have not stopped praying.?
