Saturday at 4 p.m. Craig and I received a grand surprise!  I was checking my FB.  Need to say now that I quit FB  few years ago  never to return, but after several friends in Rwanda ask me to sign back up, well upon arrival home, I did just that!  Now back to our grand surprise.  While scrolling through FB, suddenly a notice came up indicating I had a call from John Baptiste!  John Baptiste is the Director of the Zion Compassion Project where I had the visit with my sponsored children.  We have been communicating since my return to Raleigh via email and FB.  He told me that Grace was expecting a baby.  I have been praying for Grace and her baby. On Aug. 17th, John Baptiste and his wife had a baby boy, Isaac.  They were calling to show me Isaac!  I couldn't believe that right before my eyes on the computer were the beautiful smiles of John Baptiste, Grace and their sweet newborn boy, Isaac!  What an incredible blessing!  I could hardly sit still I was so excited!! :)  I am very grateful Craig was close by so he could meet my friends in Rwanda that he knows I miss very much.   The Lord has planted a love for Rwanda in his heart, as well as mine, therefore meeting John Baptiste, Grace and Isaac was truly a special gift for him.  It was great to share this opportunity with Craig!  

I have been blessed now with two FB Face time calls from Rwanda.  My dear friends, Joseph and Clementine, called a few weeks ago! Amazing, also to see their faces and hear their voices.  It is difficult to describe the feelings in my heart when my friends from Rwanda call.  My heart fills like it will explode with joy and excitement!   God is so good to provide all of our modern technology!  I never thought I would be grateful to be back on FB, but I am because of how it is being used to connect me with my dear friends in Rwanda.

John Baptiste is in the yellow shirt behind me.  Daniel, Dir. of Shyogwe Compassion Project is in the blue shirt.  Both love the Lord and serve Him faithfully!

Each day is filled with unexpected blessing from the Lord!  When He surprises me like He did today with such a gift of His love through a friend in Christ, my heart overflows with joy and gratitude.  Thank you Lord Jesus!
