Update on Mrs. Waters

We thank the Lord that Mrs. Water is slowly, but surely recovering. Initially, they even spoke of having to have surgery, but the infection began to clear up and so they opted to wait. They want her to remain in the hospital at least until Monday and are keeping her on a close watch, as well as constant medication. The nurses have messed up her medication a few times and they have had to get after the medical staff for things, but it's good to know we are in the Lord's hands and not human hands! Please continue to pray for Mrs. Water's compete recovery. Praise the Lord for what He has done already!

In Stores Now!!

Three posts in one day...Crazy, I know!!!

Just wanted to put a plug in for today's official DVD release of the movie FIREPROOF. Over here in Spain we've been waiting for what seems like forever for this! Now we can finally order it and believe me, we will! I have family and friends who have seen it and can only recommend it. I pray that lives would continue to be changed and as the DVD is now distributed to many countries all over the world, that God would continue to do to great things with today's crumbling marriages. I'm excited about this being another tool that can be used in the ministry here in Spain.


So, if you still haven't seen it or ordered it...here's your chance!! FIREPROOF

Special Prayer - Missionary Wife in the Hospital

Please keep this special couple in your prayers, Lavon and Carolyn Waters, who have been missionaries here in Spain for over 40 years. Mrs. Waters is currently in the hospital with an infected cyst. Mrs. Waters has other health issues that further complicate the situation. Both Bro. and Mrs. Waters have been a tremendous influence to so many people over the years, myself included! Please pray that the Lord would give doctors wisdom to know the best way to treat her and for peace for the family and that they would also find a way to relieve the pain Mrs. Waters feels right now. I will keep you guys posted on how she is doing.



Here is a note from Joy Loveday, Mrs. Water's daughter: (Her and her husband are also missionaries in Spain)

Dr. came by this a.m. and told us that his worst fears had come true. It is a very large cyst and is infected. They will be doing a CAT scan today to see if the cysts' dark area is blood or infected fluid. The bacteria they have discovered is E.coli and since it has been under an antibiotic treatment for 10 days, has become even more resistant. Mom is allergic to penicillin so there are not a lot of options. They will be giving her 2 different antibiotics beginning today, but the Dr. says we have a long road ahead. Her blood pressure was closer to normal yesterday and the fever was up a couple of times, but not near the 104 it had been on Sunday. Dr. says if the scan shows it is infected fluid, they will have to operate to clean out the cyst, because it is very hard to get the antibiotic to the cyst.

She is in a lot of pain and after telling the Dr. that Tylenol just wasn't cutting it,(she told him morphine would have made for a better nights sleep : ) ) he said he´d try and give her 2 painkillers at the same time. She hasn't slept longer than 2 hours at a time since Saturday night and it is beginning to tell on her and part of the reason is the pain.

Thanks for your prayers!

I found this on a friend's e-mail and it was just what I needed to remind me to take a deep breath in the busyness of the day, to put my eyes on Him. He calms and soothes the heart. What a wonderful Savior is ours!

Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is.
