PRAYERS ANSWERED… WITH JOY
God provided and opened up airline bookings for us to get to San Diego. Then our healthy, beautiful grandson Max was born last week on Feb 2, weighing 9 lbs 3 oz, and 21″ long. We’re so thankful and can’t get enough of holding him and even just looking at him!

WHILE IN THE USA…
Besides seeing Max and helping Elisa and Chris a bit, we’ve been able to connect with some friends and supporters and churches. Bill has been working on translation in the in-between hours.

We are also using this time to follow-up on Bill’s kidney stones and some other health issues. Praise God he was able to get appointments with top-notch specialists on very short notice. Now the doctors are all working together to try and get the necessary labs, CT scans, etc., done with time to do the kidney stone procedure. It will be an endoscopic laser technique this time, which should be more effective that the “sound wave blasting” that did not work back in early 2008.

All this will be expensive. We have good insurance with the mission, but our plan has a high deductible/copay. One church has already provided $1,000, which is half of our out-of-pocket share of the total. So we are asking the Lord to provide the rest (another $1,000).

PLEASE PRAY WITH US…
We are thankful for all that God has done:

• a healthy delivery of our grandson Max
• good visits with family, friends and supporters
• provision of half of our $2,000 medical copay
• appointments with top doctors on short notice

Please pray with us about scheduling all the test and procedures, provision of the remaining copay and that we would be able to get everything scheduled in our few remaining weeks, or that God would give us wisdom as to whether we should delay our return to the Philippines by a few weeks in order to get it all done

Reaching Palawanos together with you,

-Bill and Donna
