DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS,

WELL , ON FRIDAY WE STARTED OUR FIFTH WEEK OF TREATMENT. VIRGIL HAS COMPLETED THE HALF WAY MARK. AS OF NOW DR. ROGERS WANTS HIM TO COMPLETE 8 WEEKS OF TREATMENT. THE TREATMENT HAS DONE EVERYTHING AND MORE THAN WHAT THEY EXPECTED.

AS OF LAST WEEK, THE LARGE TUMOR, THAT DR. REYES INJECTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, CANNOT BE SEEN ON THEIR ULTRASOUND. EVERYONE AT THE CLINIC IS ABOUT TO JUMP OUT OF THEIR SKIN. THIS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THEY EVER EXPECTED IN THE SHORT TIME THAT VIRGIL HAS BEEN HERE. THE CANCER IS SHRINKING. THIS, WE KNOW IS FROM YOUR PRAYERS TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER TO TAKE CARE OF MY VIRGIL. GOD IS SO GOOD...... WHEN? ALL THE TIME!!!! WE KNOW THAT VIRGIL IS GOING TO BE HEALED. WE WILL STAND BY THAT UNTIL THAT DAY AND WHEN THAT DAY ARRIVES, WE WILL SHOUT IT TO ALL. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL JOIN US IN DOING THAT.

VIRGIL IS GETTING STRONGER EACH WEEK. IT IS A GOOD THING THAT HE IS A PATIENT MAN. BUT BEFORE WE ALL KNOW IT, HIS STRENGTH WILL BE BETTER THAN EVER.

WE HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED WITH COMPANY. STEVE AND KAREN JUST LEFT THIS MORNING. THEY SPENT A WEEK WITH US AND WE SURE DID ENJOY IT. THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE WERE THE CLINIC IS IN MEXICO. WE WOULD TAKE TURNS RIDING THE BUS WITH VIRGIL OR WALKING OVER THE BRIDGE AND CROSSING THE BORDER BY FOOT. TOTAL OF 1 1/2 MILES EACH WAY. THE LAST 3 DAYS, AFTER VIRGILS TREATMENT, WE ALL WALKED BACK OVER THE BORDER. THAT WAS A GREAT THING FOR VIRGIL TO DO.

THIS MORNING, MIKE SAID THAT HE AND SOPHIA MIGHT BE COMING THIS WEEKEND TO VISIT. THAT WILL BE AWESOME. HEATHER AND SCOTT HAVE ALREADY BEEN HERE TO SEE THE CLINIC AND IT WILL BE GREAT FOR MIKE TO SEE TOO. I WOULD LOVE FOR ALL TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. KATHY WAS ABLE TO COME AND SPEND A WEEK HERE TO. HOW GREAT THAT WAS. ITS JUST SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE WHEN ITS TIME FOR THEM TO LEAVE. MY SISTER,TRECI WILL BE COMING SOMETIME NEXT MONTH. MAYBE TO DRIVE HOME WITH US. WE ARE SO OVERWELMED WITH BLESSINGS OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE MISS EVERYONE SO MUCH, BUT, WE KNOW WE ARE HERE ON A MISSION AND THAT WE NEED TO STAY AS LONG AS THEY SAY. THE CLINIC HERE IS SO DIFFERENT THAN ANY PLACE IN THE USA. THEIR WAY IS VERY DIFFERENT, BUT IT IS WORKING,WITH GOD'S HELP! THERE IS SO MUCH SUCCESS IN OTHER PATIENTS TOO SINCE WE HAVE BEEN HERE. MOST OF THE PATIENTS ARE CHRISTIANS AND WE HAVE BEEN ENJOYING ALL OF THEM. SOME REALLY GREAT PEOPLE.

THE WEATHER HAS BEEN FANTASTIC. IF WE CAN'T BE IN THE KEYS ENJOYING THE SUN, WE ARE GLAD TO BE HERE. TODAY IS SUPPOSE TO REACH 82.

WELL, PLEASE KNOW THAT WE ARE DOING GOOD AND WE MISS YOU ALL. PLEASE KEEP PRAYING AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL IN OURS TOO. WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. OUR LOVE TO ALL.

LOVE,
PAM AND VIRGIL
