Oscar's family moved to the village!

On Tuesday, Oscar's family moved to the village.  I told Oscar that I would take them. They moved to the village of Atira, which is about 1/2 hour away. He had told me the two weeks earlier that when they were done with the potatoes, they would be moving out to the village. I was so sad! My lap would feel so empty on Sunday's at church! I wanted to hold on to this precious family. I hadn't seen Oscar for a couple of weeks so I went to visit his home. Christine, his mom, said that Oscar was refusing to go to the village, until he could let me know! He also had been carrying around a little piece of paper that had his CD4 (he is HIV+) counts on it.  I had asked him once about it and he was so faithful to be carrying around this little piece of paper. He is so special to me! I told him then that I wanted to take them to the village so I could know where to visit him.  

We loaded up the van with luggage, a goat, a dog and children and made the trek to the village. His father even came along for the trip.  He took off work so he could escort his family. 

O was so worried about leaving Oscar in the village. How was he going to get his meds? Who was going to keep witnessing to his young mother? Why God are you removing this family that you brought into my life?? 

I was so happy when we got to the village. The children ran to greet their grandmother. There were hugs and you could see the love.  I met some of the ladies that lived near and even a step mom of the father. They were all born again.  I kept encouraging them to witness to Christine!! She is seeking the Lord, but is afraid!  God has it all under control! 

Please keep this family in your prayers.  I really want to visit them again before we come stateside, but time is going really fast!!
