Prayer Requests

Faithful followers,
Yesterday at our International Teams BBQ one of our interns, Stephanie was burned with a chemical while trying to light a lantern. Thankfully Andrea and I took Chemistry (years ago) and knew to throw her eyes and face under running water.

When we got to the hospital our prayers were answered in the fact that the burns on her retinas and cheeks were only temporary. Her eyes were covered for the next tweleve hours which were very painful for her (and for us to watch).

Every 3 hours and again every 6 hours Andrea and I put in painful creams into her eyes to help moisturize the dry burns.

As of now, her vision is only blurry and we are very grateful. Although we expect a full recovery, I ask you to keep her in your thoughts and prayers this week.

Stephanie has had such a wonderful spirit the entire trip, esspecially now. She is light hearted and just a joy to have gotten to know. She sees this as a learning experience in depending on others and on God. Please know what a rock she has been to both me and to the team as a whole. She leaves on Saturday so we pray that the most difficult of this process will be over and she will have safe travels.


ALSO:
Tomorrow Kristen is having her last three wisdom teeth taken out. We have stocked up on movies and ice cream to aid this process. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as well because she will be under a deep anthistic and is very nervous.

Thank you very much for your continued love and support.

I plan on updating about my last week early this week and about my One Month Anniversary with Bolivia (which was Thursday) soon.
Its been a busy week.
