Answered Prayer!

Thank you so much for praying for Rob and Elmise. We've (they've) had an answer to our prayers. The mother of these children showed up today! She was very happy to meet Rob and know that he and his family would be adopting her children and bringing them to Michigan. She has absolutely no means of caring for them. She told Rob about Elmise being afraid of white men! A couple of years ago a white soldier held a gun in Elmise's face, then lifted it up and shot it into the air! It so traumatized her that she is afraid of all white men. All this was translated to Rob by our good friend, Magdala. This afternoon Elmise changed her attitude toward Rob and became a loving little girl, eager to play and talk with him! Tomorrow morning Rob will see the kids a couple of hours before he leaves for the airport to come home. Please pray for them that they'll have a good bonding time as they say good-bye. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for answered prayer! How I love You. Thank you for Elmise and Armon and for their mother going to the orphanage today so she and Rob had a chance to talk. What a difference it made! What an answer to prayer! Please be with Rob and the children tomorrow as they say good-bye. This will be hard. I know, I've been there. Help them to feel You there with them.
