Answered Prayer

Mahalo to everyone for praying for us. Want to hear some praises?

* Sunday's worship service went well. We were able to be there and share the final testimony live. They said a special prayer for us at the end of the service, and many came by to tell us they were blessed. Such a solid confirmation that our circumstances are not about us but for others. We were also thrilled to see a few surprise guests (Don and Lola Penfield and Calvin, Karen, and Kyle Slaan). Pastor Keith, the worship leader, graciously made a video of the service for us so when we get it, we will upload it to God Tube and link it to this blog for all to see. Pastor Derrick at Mililani said he'd like to show the video for a Sunday night service, we'd be honored!

* No infection! Dan's labs came back showing no infection, so he's still on the list. The doctor wants him to finish out the antibiotics though, and the sores have stopped draining finally so we can start airing them out in hopes of finally healing over, and they are painful to treat.

* A good friend asked me recently how we are doing financially. We want to praise God that He has been providing for us through LTD payments from our church and from the Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention. Fellow pastors, this is a great blessing so if your church is not helping you with insurance support from Guidestone, talk to your finance committee. Hawaii pastors can also get more information from Jerry Sulliban at HPBC.

Another update:

* Dan's red cell count is down again, today it is 7.5 (normal is 13-15 I think). So he needs another transfusion, we go tomorrow morning, and it usually takes 3-4 hours for 1 unit, so if he needs more than that, we'll be there a while, hopefully not overnight. Then we go back Thursday morning for more labs.

Well, it's time for Dan and I to take our evening 10 minute walk around the house. Love and aloha to everyone,

Debbie and Dan
