Alice is Home!

Praise the Lord, and thank you for your continued prayers. Alice is doing well and eating good. They released her from the hospital at approx. 1:00 pm, but by the time we packed everything, chased down the guy who collects the payments, and passed through the gauntlet of people desiring a "gift" for their services, it was after 3 pm before we got out the door. Alice is now safely and comfortably settled in at Brother Johnpaul's home and ready tackle life.

We were again reminded how God can work for good even in times of crises. We had many opportunities to pray for others in the hospital, both patients and staff, who had struggles in their lives. We were blessed many times over by those who returned and thanked us for our prayers. God is so good.

Please continue to pray as we work on our new itinerary and look forward to our journey back to the US.

Update on Alice

I apologize for not keeping the blog updated very regularly. Things have been a bit up in the air. Alice is doing much better today. She continues to grow stronger and is now eating some small amounts of solid food.

We just got the biopsy back today and it confirmed she had an acute gangrenous appendicitis. But God is good, and she is steadily improving each day. We are grateful for your prayers, and Alice sends  her love.

Even though Alice became ill, we have still been blessed by our time with Johnpaul and his family, and look forward to sharing with everyone when we return. If it is at all possible, we have grown to love the children and the people of India even more than ever. They have taken wonderful care of us and we will miss them when we leave.

Please continue to pray for us. We have yet to sort out the travel arrangements, but I know God has this already worked out.
