Show and Tell with Canada Girl

It is Friday, my favorite day to blog and share with you what the Lord is doing in our lives! And to remind you how amazing CanadaGirl is for hosting this! Isn't she awesome!

So Today is just a TELL because I have no pictures to Show. But last night while I was watching the grandkids and Heather and Sam were at the Christmas Party....Tirzah called...URGH!

"Hi mom, I thought you would be home. I have FRIENDS I want you to meet. Oh You are not there... well this is Angie say Hello Angie Hello...This is Candy say Hello (in the background "How do you do" not in English..hee hee) Well I guess you aren't there I love you.." I could hear my sister in the background of the message, how blessed I am to hear her calm voice in the background. All is well!. And as we listened Heather said "Mom are you crying ?"and as I choked back the tears I said "Of course not!'

Heather said she KNEW she would call while they were out! She was heart broken! And yet we were so excited to think that TIRZAH has friends! Friends in Rwanda just her age! How awesome is our God!

More awesome than we imagine, for after Heather called to tell us what she missed...Tirzah called back!

HOORAY!

She was eating a Scarlet Tomato! Now this is a big deal because a couple years ago at Camp Gilgal, she won the award for most consumed Tomatoes! She has already spoken at Two Churches and is in Byumba Staying at a pastor's home. She said she has seen some very hard things (as we knew she would)o: There is a refugee Camp in Byumba, I am sure that is a portion of the hard things. She said the Children surround her and she is filled with love for them all. And new FRIENDS How cool is that!

Next week they will be with The AIDS Orphans, there are more hard things for her precious heart to see.

Thank you for your prayers, what a blessing you are to my heart.

NOW>>>> NEXT FRIDAY... I will be in Surgery so I will not have a Show and Tell. Just know I love you and I will be back as soon as I am able and So will Tirzah!

Pray for my Doctors, by caregivers and my healing...Until then, Hugs to all of you My Sweet Sisters In Christ!

Technology is such a blessing! I am glad she called back and that she is making friends. That does not surprise me. ;-) Have a peaceful week, my friend.

Oh, what a wonderful, bitter-sweet update (too bad about the missed called!). But it sounds like she is really on fire and serving. I think she will be sorry to come home and leave this mission field!

What are you in surgery for? Another knee? Sorry...I've been a slacker in bloggy land lately so you probably have an entry about it and I didn't read it. :-(

Hi Bobbie!!! I hope you have a wonderful few weeks leading up to Christmas. I'm not sure how much blogging I'm going to be doing, but I wanted you know that I'm thinking of you and visiting you often.

Have a great weekend.
