Surprise

When we began raising money for Henry, we knew God would bless the project, but (as usual,) God has exceeded out wildest expectations. Trav sent out a few emails and I told my mom's school and posted the "Oh Henry" blog. We would have been excited just to raise enough for the bike. But so far, over $200 has come in, which is enough for the bike AND his textbooks. More has also been pledged and should arrive in Henry's hands soon. 


We took Henry to town with us today, beside ourselves with excitement. We pulled out our flip video camera and broke the news to him. Here is his reaction. 





For the rest of the meal, we talked about all the possibilities that have opened up for Henry now that he has the way AND the means to accomplish his goals. He is still in shock I think. He opened up and told us that he had been very worried lately about all the things going on in his life. Before Travis, Krystin and I got to L'esperance, Henry said he sat down and basically told God that he didn't know what to do. His life kept getting more difficult and he asked God to help him out. Then we came. He said he thought we had come just to lift his spirits. He never dreamed that God would use us (and you) to change his life. He told us that when he goes back to school at the end of the month, he will tell anyone who will listen how good God is. How God DOES answer prayers. 


Thank for letting God use you. All of you. Whether you financially supported Henry or not, God is working through you. Your prayers, your time, your messages, comments, and emails keep us going. God is moving here. And at home. Everyday the link between the L'esperance community and our friends and family back in the U.S. grows stronger. I have a feeling that the relationship will last a life time.
