Hey everyone!  Sorry I haven't written lately.  I've been super busy.  I have several hundred pictures though so I will try to get some of them up soon, k?

Here are some prayer requests:

1) My grandmother has a blocked artery in her abdomen, which is a serious problem.  Doctors attempted a surgery to put in a stint the other day, but it didn't work.  Pray that the doctors will find a successful alternate treatment, pray for her healing, and pray for her salvation.

2) My dad's work recently restructured which resulted in a serious paycut for him.  Pray that God will provide for my parents' financial needs and that He would give them wisdom about whether to seek a new job or what to do.

3) Pray for me as I continue to solidify plans for our teams debriefing in a week.  Continue to pray for good locations.  Three teams will debrief in Hong Kong and one in the Philippines.

4) Pray for a baby boy I met in the Philippines.  He is one month old and very sick because of a blood type/liver condition.  His parents had two previous children who both died from this problem because they couldn't afford treatment.  I paid for the baby to go to the hospital and have initial tests run.  Pray that God would heal the baby, that God would give the doctors wisdom, and that God would raise all the rest of the money necessary for medical bills.
