Grace called today. She wanted to tell us that her latest round of Typhoid Fever has somewhat cleared up. She said she feels "Fair." She told Emma she is staying with her "Sister-Cousin" while she waits for the interview at the Embassy in Kampala. She does not want to leave Kampala and be away when the Embassy sets an interview date. Leaving means a 7-8 hour bus trip back to the city. She will go and visit Grandma after she talks to the Embassy.
We explained to her that today is a Thanksgiving holiday for our country. That the offices are closed and we celebrate as a country our abundant blessings. She compared it to Independence Day, and I told her she was correct. She wished us a wonderful holiday and please tell the family of her gratitude. (She actually does understand the holiday!)
We all had a chance to talk to her and tell her how we have prayed over her health and so happy that God answered our prayers. She was laughing and happy which made our day! After a great conversation with her, we sat down at the breakfast table and prayed. We each had Grace in our prayers. She is a big part of our family.
The thoughts, prayers and little expressions of compassion are cherished. We have such a deeper understanding of the bond that holds our community of believers together.
We are gearing up for the next visa interview to determine Grace's student status. Thank you for the prayer support.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." -Galatians 6:9 NIV
