Tropical Updates....

We first want to praise the Lord in that my 92 year-old grandmother accepted Christ as her Saviour this past Sunday at our Bible Study! 

We have been praying for her for a long time and witnessed to her many times.  She comes faithfully to our Bible studies and has always acknowledged that I preach the truth.  But she has never wanted to accept Christ for salvation.  Her excuse has been one out of fear as she says, "I have always been Catholic and I must stay Catholic."   We praise the Lord that she has thrown away 'religion' and finally accepted the truth of God's Word!

As for Kami, there is nothing else to be done in Florida.  The doctors have said that she is extremely deficient in Vitamins D, C, & Iron.  (Depleted is more the word that they used.)  They have given her a prescription for high-dose Vitamins that she must take for 10 weeks.  Their hopes (and ours) is that her body will regain strength to fight against the problem that has been affecting her.

All of her blood tests have shown that she has a connective tissue vascular disorder.  They do not know to what extent nor what kind, but they do know that her body is attacking itself.  They want her to see a rhumatologist but it can take several weeks to get an appointment with one in Ft. Myers, FL.  

So we purchased a ticket for her to come back home this Friday.  There is a rhumatologist here on our island and when we get our finances back to a point where we can afford it, we will get Kami an appointment to see this doctor here.  

Thank you all for your prayers and continue to pray for her, our family, and the ministry here on St. Barthelemy...

Until next time...
