New land for Yvette

A few months ago my friend Yvette who helps me out in the house, started praying about buying some land to put a house on. She is a single mother with 4 children who is willing to do what ever it takes to take care of her family. She has scrubbed floors, sold food on the side of the road, washed clothes, to provide for her family.
Because of her situation she is not able to put money aside to buy land. A few weeks ago she came to us and asked us for a loan to buy land. Jesse discussed with her the details of the loan. She decided to pay extra on the loan each month to pay it off quickly. She bought a wonderful piece of property and we are so happy for her. This is such a great opportunity for her and we are so happy that she has a chance to have her own land and someday build a mud brick house on the land.
Yesterday we all went out to see the land she has bought. She has planted corn on the land for now since she is not able to build on it yet.
I praise the Lord for a friend like her, she is such a great example to me. Her love for the Lord grows daily and we stand amazed at how many wonderful things the Lord is doing in her life.
