"Petunia" for Elizabeth

On Thursday we had 3 visitors from Namibia spend the night. They were on their way home from a Conference in South Africa and stopped off to see us midway. Mike Dunne has been in Namibia for 2 years with Missionary Ventures and Nan Parker (along with her daughter, Elizabeth) also with Missionary Ventures has been there for over 4 years. She had adopted her daughter a few years back from an orphanage in Namibia. Jeff had gotten to know them when he had taken a mission team from our church (South Tampa Fellowship) in 2006 and then returned to visit in 2009. Elizabeth has lost the use of both her legs (not that it has slowed her down) and we had just received a shipment of 6 PET's when an American family recently moved to Gaborone and sent a container with their household goods. The PET workshop in Tampa went the extra mile to make sure the PET's got on the container since there was a little extra space. Jeff decided that there could be no better recipient for a PET than Elizabeth because her mother often has to carry her from the nearest town to their home when a car is not available. This way, she'll be able to peddle herself and even have room to help her mom with some of the groceries! We can not describe how excited Elizabeth was to receive her PET which she promptly named "Petunia". What an inspiring example of how The Lord plans everything to the last detail, long before we even know what is needed!
