Thanks so much to each of you for all your Prayer support.
I ask that all of you please pray for me a lot in the next few weeks. I am sick and I will be on meds for the next 2 weeks. My iron is low and I have an infection but I praise God I got sick when I was still down out of the mountion so that I could go to the clinic and get tested and get on meds.
I plan on going back up to Soliette on Sunday sometime. | 
Please remember to pray for her as she travels back on the 18th with a work team that had come down to the IFM campus for 10 days.
