Hello Everyone!
Family Update - I just received word that my mother will be having a partial historectomy at the end of this month. As far as I have been told, everything is ok, but as good as to be expected considering the fact that she needs surgery. You ladies can understand why. Guys, ask your mom or your wife. I don't want to go into detail. I am sure you all appreciate that. ;) The other family update is my grandmother. I know I have been going back and forth with she is fine, she is sick, she is fine again, but here is the real story i just found out. My grandmother has passed into the dementia stage and so much that she has passed beyond the half way mark. Her mind is telling her that she already ate and that she is not hungry. Her thyroid is not right and her blood count/level is off. She returns to the doctor on Monday for a check-up to see what to do next and how things are. Her husband, my grandfather, is also loosing weight and his health is suffering due to him taking care of my grandmother. My dads leg is healing properly. My sister's broke arm/wrist is also healing properly. So, praise the Lord on that!
Prayer Update - Continue to pray for my family of course. Pray for the pain my mother is experiencing to vanish. Also pray that her surgery goes well at the end of the month. And that she will make it until then without any problems. Please continue to pray for my grandmother. I have no clue what to ask for pray about, but just that the Lord works and His will is done. I would love for her to be around for a lot longer. And it is hard thinking of the possibilities. Praise the Lord that He has given me an amazing Peace about whatever happens. I am not freaking out anymore and the Lord has calmed my spirit. I do feel as if I should be freaking out, but now I know that the Lord is and has been working. Continue to pray for healing with my fathers leg and my sisters arm/wrist. Also continue to pray for the Lord's direction in my life. People have already mentioned that they would help support if the Lord leads me to return to Peru. Not enough for me to return yet, but I am confident that if He wants me to go, then it will come. One lady mentioned to me that she is unable to go on missions but wants to joyfully give towards missions. That really touched my heart. She didn't give an estimate, but just her willingness to help someone she doesn't even know, blessed my heart. I can tell the Lord is moving and it excites me to know that I have no clue what He is doing, but He sure does!
Travel Update - Tomorrow we have to rise at 3am to catch our combi to Huancasancos. We were told it is a 12 hour ride. Lord, we pray not. Jenna gets motion sickness easy and well, 12 hours in a combi is like being in a can for that many hours. Not much room at all. So, please pray for us. We were also told that the village we are going to next is a very poor province. There is not much food. So, we have went to the local grocery store here in Ayacucho and bought many things such as bread, jelly, dried fruits (banana) and peanuts. We have also bought yogurt and peanuts. So, we are good if we have to fast for a little while. We are also confident that the Lord will take good care of us!
Thank you all for your prayers and e-mails. THey are always encouraging and uplifting as well.
Blessings!
