EE Mission Day 5 - First Visit With Gayle

Many of you are probably wondering where we are.  We have been without internet service the past several days, but finally tonight we are once again connected.  I can't believe we've been in this country for almost a week.  We praise God for our safe journey so far, and for keeping us healthy.

Wednesday morning we arrived in the region Gayle's orphanage is located.  We were driven to our apartment to freshen up, and then picked up for our journey to the orphanage.  Our facilitator accompanied us inside and took us to a room where we met the head doctor.  Within a few minutes, we went to another room where we were introduced to the doctor that oversees the care of Gayle.  She went over her medical history, and she is very healthy.  This initial meeting was very informal, and we weren't asked any questions.  After a few minutes, we were lead directly into Gayle's groupa, and oh my she was sitting on the floor right where we walked in.  My heart felt like it would leap right out my chest.  We praise God for leading us to her.  She is such a blessing.  We were blessed with about 40 minutes of visiting time with her, and it was pure joy.  Please enjoy these beautiful pictures. 

We are now waiting to receive our second appointment date for Kathleen.  We are hoping and praying that phase of our journey will be early next week.
