\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for praying for our family\u2019s trip to Western Australia.\u00a0 We were there for a little over 2 weeks, June 7-22.\u00a0 While there we were able to take care of medical check-ups as well as spend some wonderful vacation time together as a family.\u00a0 DJ had a number of small skin cancers removed from his arms and hands.\u00a0 All were still small enough to be removed using dry ice, but it was emphasized again to us that he does need yearly check-ups to ensure that none of the cancers grow large enough to need surgery again.\u00a0 The area behind his ear where he had surgery last year has healed well and is still cancer-free.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

All of the kids were also able to see a doctor, who agreed with Tyndale\u2019s diagnosis of Henoch-Schonlein purpura.\u00a0 It has been almost a month now since Tyndale\u2019s last \u201cflare-up\u201d of the rash, swelling, and severe joint pain.\u00a0 He did have a few speckles on his hands and feet and some joint pain while we were in Australia.\u00a0 He\u2019s been completely rash free for several weeks now and only has intermittent mild joint pain, so we are hopeful that he is near the end of this illness.\u00a0 Thanks so much for lifting him up in prayer.\u00a0 Please be praying for Areli and Galilee as well.\u00a0 The doctor prescribed a daily medicine for them to try to reduce the severe migraines they have been having which interfere with their ability to function, attend school, etc.\u00a0 We\u2019re planning to start this medication a few weeks before they start back to school, since that will give us the best indication as to whether it is working or not (most of their headaches come on when they are at school.)<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Since coming back from Australia, we\u2019ve jumped back into our ministry responsibilities here.\u00a0 DJ and the maintenance workers are getting 4 houses ready for the 3 families and one single lady who plan to arrive on July 20 to start their culture and language studies.\u00a0 In addition to getting ready to welcome our new students, we consultants are also preparing for stage 1 evaluations for the 3 current students, which will take place July 18 and 19 (yes, right before the new students arrive!)<\/p>\n

Again, thanks so much for all your prayers, encouragement, and support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
