  9. Melissa,
    We've never met but I went to Uganda last summer with Libraries of Love. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you and Mercy. I've only gotten to read a little of your blog but I definitely see God working through you. I firmly believe Mercy is an angel sent directly to you and it's no accident that you had to spend that extra time to get your Angel home to the US. You have done tremendous works through Him and I know it's just the beginning for you (and Mercy). Thank you for sharing your story and best wishes for a continued Blessed life! Give that girl a hug for me! Anne in Austin

  16. I am so overwhelmed with thankfulness to God that He has brought you and your angel home! I am the mom of Michelle Wilson. She has kept me up to date on your journey with Mercy. This past Monday she sent me a text asking that I pray for specific miracles this week. I was in a meeting at school and I shared the request with them. We had special prayer for you and Mercy right then! I can't wait to share your good news with them! God is so good!
