Update!
Thursday, June 26
Received my 1st vaccine on Tuesday, shot into my liver, I can just visualize those cancer cells running for cover. Had a good week of treatment and looking forward to a good weekend. On Sunday we will meet after church at a restaurant to celebrate the Baptism of Murray and Bev a Canadian couple who received Christ while here at the clinic. Mike and Debbie Lane, Baptist missionaries to the Honduras, are coming this weekend for Mike to do the Baptism. Mike is a fellow cancer warrior and was here and a part of their rebirth and Murray and Bev had asked them if they could come and do their Baptism. Pam and I are looking forward to seeing them, they are a fun couple and we miss seeing them at the clinic. After being blessed with the opportunity to come to know them we know that they have been a real blessing for the last 10 years to the people they minister to in the Honduras. It's always amazes and humbles me what mere humans do, with their lives, out of faith in Jesus Christ.
Pam and I are looking forward to our friends Max and Norma coming Monday from Indiana for two weeks. Max and Norma went home about six weeks ago and were called by the clinic and asked to come back for two weeks for Max to take the vaccine. Max is 78, I
believe, I know this must be a lot for him and Norma, but they are real troopers and willing to do what they feel is necessary for Max's health. They will stay with us and it will be fun to have their fellowship.
Two of our grandkids will be arriving about the time Max and Norma are heading home. Trevor and Jackson are coming around July 11th, it will be their third time to fly, but 1st time without an adult. They are 9 and 7 I'll bet they're excited and a little nervous all at the same time. I know they'll do well and it will be fun to have them with us. There will be a lot of swimming going on to offset the 100 plus temperature every afternoon. There is a nice pool here at the apartments, a great lake, and yesterday Pam and I checked out a spring where the locals like to go we will frequent it I am sure. The boys are easy to entertain, they like outside and physical activity, we will just stay hydrated.
Another cancer warrior friend will also be back Monday for a tuneup, Gary Madden, aka mad-dog, for those who have followed the blog from the beginning you'll remember Gary as the architect of the dancing Virgil's and body builder images. Gary being a high school computer science teacher likes to keep his skills sharp by putting my head and other patients heads on interesting bodies. Gary is high energy and a lot of fun, the new patients don't have a clue what a treat they are in for next week, no extra charge, Gary will brighten their day. Too bad his wife Miriam can't come, they would love her too. She is a real sweetheart and a registered nurse and bilingual, born and raised in Peru. What a great help she was to Pam and I when we 1st came. None of the nurses speak English and Miriam would interpret as well as use her 30 plus years in nursing to instruct them to our benefit. During that time she stayed 6 weeks but had to reluctantly get back to her day job. All the patients at that time hated to see her go she was such an asset to everyone.
Those of you who know Pam will not be surprised at my next comment, Pam is also missed at the clinic when she is not there, she brightens people's day and constantly is looking to do for her new friends, I am truly blessed to be related to her.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayer's, please pray for the work the clinic is doing and for safe travel for the patients, their family and friends as they come and go.
God bless you and your families!
(I apologize for not posting things as quickly as Uncle Virgil sends them to me! I have been working summer camp since the beginning of June and have not had much time to be on the computer. I am leaving on Wed to go on a mission trip to Moldova. I will be gone for 11 days. My team and I would greatly appreciate your prayers as we work with students and adults in Moldova! Thanks! Love, Kelli Beth)
