Pure Joy

This is a message I got from Sister Rachel Zinn:

This picture is so amazing. I can't do it justice. 

The background is this sweet lady was tricked into coming to France and when she got here she was forced into sexual slavery.  She started coming to church (missionaries found her) and she's been coming for months. She wants to get baptized and in the process, she opened up to the sister missionaries about what was happening. 

Long, long story short, she can't be baptized while in the country illegally (she came in on false papers). To make everything right, she had to go to the police and file a report (Done...so brave! Can you imagine going knowing they could arrest you? Deport you?) 

She has an appt this week with the Nigerian embassy to get a passport in her real name, and today she got a blessing for her baby. 

And your baby has been a part of this whole process! He is doing real things, powerful things, that are changing the course of families and their lives. I can't get over this picture. She was on cloud 9!
