An unexpected e-mail.

We received such a lovely and encouraing e-mail today.

Dear Beloved sisters in Christ,

Today we held a prayer meeting for you and your travels.

Wow. Short, simple yet powerful right? I felt so honored and blessed. I mean who are we, three random nurses from the United States and here they are preparing and praying for us and our travels. Taking time out of their day, money out of their funds to make us feel welcome. Here I thought we were the ones praying and preparing for them, never did I ever expect them to do anything like this for us. It truly blessed me and touched my heart beyond words. 

I don't know why we ever had a worry or a doubt. It is clear that He has already gone before us and prepared the way. I already have so much love in my heart for these people and feel more than welcomed. What an honor, truly. 

SIDE NOTE: A week or so ago, Ratnam, the head of the orphanage, asked us to send him our best picture. We weren't sure why, but figured it was to recognize us when at the airport, but found it strange he kept asking for our 'best picture'. In a hurry one day, I decided to finally send him a picture and picked a random one of us three, with out thinking twice. Note to self: when they say best picture, make sure its a good one! I think I literally gasped out loud at work when I opened the e-mail and saw our faces larger than life. Kinda funny, not even going to lie.
