Jeanne-Marie Update

Among many very exciting things that God has done this past week, the update on Jeanne-Marie has to be one of the best! Tuesday afternoon Gary and I drove the builder (who is presently building our new clinic addition) and his team out to the site in that village. After getting them set up and starting the work, I had a few minutes to talk to Pastor. I told him about all that had happened since I had left him on Thursday after clinic (talking to my sister, the medicine I just "happened" to have, and giving J.M. her first dose). I told him that I had asked many people to be praying for her...and then he stopped me. He said, "Her father came to see me this morning and he says that she can See!" My other worker/evangelist was there too, and simultaneously we both said, "Hallelujah!" Gary heard the news and was excited too. We continued to pray.

On Thursday, I stopped by to see Jeanne-Marie on my way to clinic, and at first it was hard to tell a difference... but then, when I held up my finger, she reached for it and pulled it to her mouth. While seated on my lap, she looked me straight in the face, and immediately arched back and began to cry - a common reaction of a baby to a "white" lady. She hadn't done that before. And when I questioned the parents, they both assured me that she could see things that were close up to her. Surrounded by so many people, and Jeanne-Marie wanting to go back to her mother, it wasn't the place to do an eye exam. I left some medicines with them, and they were very thankful. I reminded them that this was a work of God!

Please continue to pray. I hope to get them into an Opthamologist just after the new year for an evaluation. I'm praising God for what she Can see and Praying for complete healing! Thanks for helping with that.

Giving Jeanne-Marie the medicine last Friday.
