Christmas Blessings
One of the blessings of this time of the year is the chance it gives to connect with our friends and family, and to thank each one of you that has blessed us throughout the year in finances and prayerful support. We are your outstretched hands and without each one of you our mission would not be possible. So, with all our love we wish you a truly blessed and happy Christmas season as we remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Juan Carlos
Sunday 6th of Dec. Juan Carlos was in a really
bad state. In fact, he was so poorly
that the doctors thought he would die.
He developed a fever and lost consciousness. They found an infection, but were not able to
locate it in the body, so they assumed that it might be in his brain. They immediately administered antibiotics,
and thanks be to God they worked! On
Monday, Juan Carlos was able to answer questions about his name, the day of the
week and other questions correctly.
Tuesday he was given a blood transfusion, and in the following days he
received special nutrition IV’s to strengthen him and build him up. The same Tuesday, Jeff was asked to pay the
first part of the bill which amounted to 28,000 Quetzales (approximately
$3,734), including the blood transfusion.
A week later on Tuesday 15th,
the bypass operation was carried out which the doctors say was a success. For five days Juan Carlos will be fed through
a tube in his nose, and for eight days he is not allowed to have any visitors
with the exception of his direct family and Jeff. The cost of the bypass will be approximately
25,000 Quetzales (approximately $3,334), and on top of that will be the cost
for the hospital stay, medicines, doctor’s fees etc.
So far 5,700 Euros ($6,180) have been
donated to us and our other missionary family, and we calculate that another
8,000 Euros ($8,680) will be needed.
That is an awful lot of money, and so short before Christmas, not really
an ideal time to ask for help. But
nobody chooses to be ill, and when it is about a person’s life, what
alternative is there?
Physiotherapy
I have been
undergoing physiotherapy for the past 4 month to straighten my back and
strengthen my legs after 10 years of 13 major operations on my back it has
taken its toll on me. It has been tough
going but I have refused to give in. I
have also started early morning training in a local gymnasium. I want to be fully fit for visits to Europe
and India in 2016. There is much to do
before the soon return of the Lord. Here is a picture of my two pretty
physiotherapists – Brenda and Angelica.
