Last night something so extremely exciting happened.
  My heart is still bursting.

I decided to call my friend I asked you all to pray for yesterday.
  I wasn't able up to that point to get a hold of her.
  Much to my surprise she answered.

Today I spent the entire morning with her.
  Our time was beautiful.
  I learned so many new things about babies and tradition in her faith.
  She is pregnant.
  I learned that the father of the baby's family names the baby after 7 days.
  At 40 days there is a celebration where a sheep, goat, or camel is killed.
  When taking the insides out, no bones can be broken and the meat is divided into thirds.
  One portion goes to the family of the baby, the other to the celebration, another to the poor.
  The unbroken bones are then placed back in the skin of the animal and buried.
  When the end times come, that animal will come back to life and carry the child to the front of the judgment line.
  Our whole conversation was entirely fascinating.
  Thanks again for being a part of making today possible.

More to follow soon….
