God has done great things for us!!

We are so thankful!!! Our prayers and your prayers have been answered! Andrew and Innocent were able to meet as we spent the night at the Grace for Education house in Seeta. They connected well together and Innocent was able to suggest an excellent Christian school for Andrew in his area. Their connection was one answer to prayer and then we were able to overcome several obstacles and enroll him in a wonderful school with high standards and Christian principles. Innocent will oversee his education and mentor him on holidays. Seroma is the name of the school and it is all boarding. His mother and grandmother are thrilled and a young cousin will stay with them to help with the garden and animals. The school is three to four hours away from home depending on traffic. The great thing is that he will be with his friend Simon, pictured at the school with Andrew. Innocent is pictured with Otis. He himself has quite an amazing story I would love to tell. He will be an excellent role model for Andrew who really needs a man in his life. Andrew's father was a muslim who had three wives and abandoned them. Multiple wives are common especially in the past generations. Andrew's family is Christian. They walk one and a half hours one way each Sunday to the nearest church. The nearest school for him was a Muslim school and that's where he was before. He walked ten to thirty minutes to school depending on how fast he walked. There were no other students in his village who valued education like he does and so he has little support and no one to help with homework questions. Now he is fully supported at the new school and will have much more study time. Before, he arrived home around six p.m., ate his only meal of the day, helped with the garden and animals and then tried to study before dark. After dark there are only candles. He did not even have a flashlight! On top of that there was the worry of rain raining into your bedroom in the night. We are so thankful for all God has done to get him to a better place!!!!! Thank you to so many of you who have prayed for him and for us. We are all well! Our very long trip home starts Friday afternoon and we would appreciate your prayers for patience, sleep, and flexible attitudes. Thank you!!!!
