HALELUJIA!!! I actually got through to Rwandan Gov. and spoke to the person I have been trying to communicate with for over two weeks. Many wee hour calls to no avail, but then a miracle today! I was very nervous when she said to give her 5 min. to look for our paperwork and to call back. I asked if I could just be on hold because it is so difficult to get a call to go through and she said "No", "you should call back in 5 min., OK?" I reluctantly said "OK" and hung up. I waited about 7 min. and called back and she answered on the first ring by saying, "I found it, I have your paperwork right here!" I almost passed out! I did tell her that I loved her which I think she found rather amusing. We proceeded to have a wonderful conversation and she said to call back next Fri. same time , as she will be going over our paperwork next week to see if anything is missing. Just last night Pete and I had decided not to do any more wee hour calls, calls to Rwanda between 2 AM and 5 AM, and to let God work out the details. I am getting much too tired trying to call during the so called "best hours to call" and still raise the three children we have in the home currently and run my practice and run the house and few other things, but enough about "poor me" ha ha ha anyway, we just let go and let God as of about 9 pm last night. This AM around 9:30 I was going to make a call in my office and saw the Rwanda numbers and decided to try one for kicks and it went directly through to our contact person! It was truly a miracle after the many many hours of hitting redial and not even getting through to the country over the past couple of weeks! Hopefully we will experience the same kind of miraculous connection next Fri. We'll see....

Thank you all for the continued prayers and financial and emotional support through this process, we truly appreciate it all!

For now may God Bless you and have a wonderful weekend as I know we will!
