Richard's Update

The time that we have been waiting for has finally arrived. Richard has been taken back to surgery. Everything was running a little longer than expected, so we will probably not hear anything until 3:30p.m. I am sitting in the waiting room with a room full of anxious people. My praise for the day is the amazing peace that God has once again given Richard and I. We know everything is going to be great. We have had an amazing last couple of days. Our trip began with a christian taxi cab driver, that we had wonderful converstation with. If fact he came over last night and hung out with us and prayed for Richard. He is from Nigera and has a fabulous testimony. We then spent the next day at the hosptial. Richard had and EKG, blood work, and met with medicine doctor. Everything went great. Richard is as healthy as can be and his pulmonary test were great. The doctors were all amazed how healthy he is. The next day Richard and I rode the train down town and met lots of people. You know how us small town folks are, we have to say hi and visit with everyone.

One interesting young man, Kyle 18 years old, we met has been cleaned up from drugs for 6 months. He shared that he was a follower of lucifer; however, was very willing to hear about Jesus and we were able to pray with him. It was an awesome time of fellowship. Please pray for Kyle and that he will be released from satan. We were so blessed to visit with Kyle and now God orchestrated it all. Our God is so amazing!

We then spent the evening with our friends Troy and Amanda. We finished the night just enjoying each other and talking about all the great things God has for us in the future. We have been reminded how wonderful family and friends are and how blessed we are to be surrounded by so many great people. Thank to everyone. We love you all and look forward to seeing everyone soon. God bless!
