A Visit with Innocent's Gramma and His Parents!

A couple of months ago Innocent had to stop at his Gramma's house for something.. and I got to meet here.  She was 

so sweet.  I told her that some day i would be back to see her. 

Today was the day!

Gramma and Auntie

LOVE this picture!
Innocent you must visit your gramma more often!
Look at her eyes sparkling since her grandson came to visit...

 Before we shared some delicious groundnuts
we needed to wash up... so Auntie provided the sink!

We had a wonderful visit... with Innocent doing
the interpreting.  Gramma thanked me for keeping
my word and coming to visit.  She didn't think I would.
She was so happy and so grateful that we had stopped
and it was wonderful to be with her in her home.
After that we went to Innocent's parents to see them..

 This is Benita.. Innocent's niece and his Mom and Dad.
I think grandpa loves that little girl!  

Another shot as folks are talking!

 Someone else loves her, too!
My little car had a hard time on their street but
we made it and headed to Via Vende
for lunch...

Looking at the menu... waiting for Bruce to arrive. 

Happy crew!

Bruce got there right on time and we were altogether!
It was a great day and we had much to talk about.

PS.  At this writing ( two weeks later) Innocent's Dad fell very ill last Sunday...  He went into a coma and all of us feared he wouldn't live.  He had  seizures for 2-3 hours on Sunday before he went to the hospital.

He was on life support and wired to everything they have here.

But everyone was praying for him and many were fasting.

 I saw him yesterday at the

hospital and he had been taken from ICU to a regular ward where he stood and greeted us with a hug.  FOUR DAYS LATER....

A real miracle.  

The following pictures are from yesterday. 

Please continue to pray for his full recovery.

(The diagnosis was neurocysticercosis... which is the result of a pork tapeworm that attacked his brain.)

Obviously, the hospital!

Innocent and his Dad...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!

And thank you, Lord for sparing his life

and giving Innocent the assurance of knowing

that his Dad has trusted his life 

and surrended his will to you!

Blessed Assurance!
