Sorry for the long wait.

Hey folks sorry that I have not written in a while. We came down from the mountains and did not have computer access the rest of our time in Peru. After we returned I got sick spent a little time in the ER...but all is well now. The Peru mission trip was amazing. I am not sure that words can describe how great the trip was. If you ever have time for coffee and want to hear a good story and hear about some of the amazing things God did give me a call.

As many of you know my grandfather had his bladder removed two weeks ago tomorrow because his bladder cancer had returned and was removing the his bladder was the only way to get rid of he cancer. I later updated that he had had some internal bleeding and we came very close to losing him. The doctors had to go back in to clean him up and make sure everything was closed up. Well, he was eventually moved out of ICU and into a normal room. I wish I could say he was on his way home. I called my grandmother today just to talk to her and get an update and she gave me some disappointing news.

She informed me that my grandfather had a set back in his progress. I knew he was having a hard time. He was having trouble healing and did not have much of an appetite which made it hard to get his strength up. She told me today that he has come down with an infection and has been put back on the tubes and such. Also that he has gone not back into ICU but into a level of care just below that. He is in great need of prayer. I asked my grandmother if he had ever asked Christ into his heart and she said that they both had. Which eased some of my fear..but I am still not ready to lose him. I fully believe that God is the great healer and that He can do anything. I love my grandfather so much he means so much to me. My grandmother said that he is really scared right now and that the whole family is. I am just receiving this information about his health so I am now joining the group. I know that the Bible tells us not to worry but I guess human nature gets in the way.

I am saying all this to ask. Please be in prayer for my grandfather and for my family. I love him very much and want him to be around when I get married and all that fun stuff. Also please pray for my grandmother, she and my grandfather have been married for over 50 years. While I was on the phone with her she broke down a little. I really just wish that I could give them both a big hug and kiss. Also my dad, he was the one that had to tell my grandmother when they almost lost my grandfather. He is being a rock for my family and I love him even more for that.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
