Well we have been here almost a month now and I still am not sure what all this is about. All I keep hearing from our Lord is to just rest in Him and so.....I'm resting....and resting....and resting.....hmmmmmmm.
Last week I went for a check up. After mentioning that I've been having some chest pain with numbing in my left arm he decided to do an ekg. There was some irregularity in my heartbeat so he ended up sending me to the ER. Praise God all the tests turned out negative and they sent me home with directions to get a stress test just to make sure but as far as they could tell everything was just fine with my heart. Thank you Jesus.
As many of you know, Angel also has been getting some much needed checkups. He will be going for a biopsy June 23rd because his PSA was high. The doctors wanted to start him on treatment but because all the other tests came back negative for cancer Angel told them he will not do anything as far as treatment until they do a biopsy that proves the cancer is back. So we wait believing!
Our puppy dane, Yana, is doing really well with the vet in Lima, Peru. We're told she is taking to their 10 year old son and is finally starting to eat although she still needs a bit more weight before the vet will spay her. I must say I miss her so much and hope she doesn't get too too attached. Our other babies are doing good also.
We heard from one of our good friends in Tarapoto and he needs our prayers. Pastor Pablo and his wife Monica are two of the most balanced pastors in Tarapoto. Their focus is on reaching the lost, baptising and making disciples then sending them out. Exactly what we are called to do, rather than what most of the churches in the area are doing and that is trying to see who can win the most gringos to bring in the most money for their churches. In Tarapoto there is much division, greed, envy, backbiting, jealousy, and insecurity among the churches which profess to be followers of Jesus Christ. Pastor Pablo has done a wonderful job at staying focused amidst all the distractions while maintaining peace with the other pastors in the area refusing to get involved in all the bickering. They are being wrongly sued by their previous covering and while we believe the courts will decide in his favor we ask that you lift them up in prayer that they remain focused on what God has called them to do and trust Him implicitly.
Well, day is ending. Tomorrow we go to see our 4 year old grandson, Trevor, graduate preschool. I can't wait, it's going to be so cute.
