Welcome to our blog! In the past we have used it to repost our prayer letters or mention something interesting that has happened in our lives. For a while now, this will be where we blog about Amy's health. Amy was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2004. It turned out to be a malignant grade III neoplastic astrocytoma with a short life expectancy despite surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Thanks to many prayers, Amy beat all the odds and we were able to continue serving as missionaries for the past 11 years in Peru. In October of this year, Amy started suffering headaches and increased seizure frequency. Unfortunately, her MRI from November 9th of this year showed a relapse of the tumor. We'll use this blog to keep people up to date on surgery dates, prayer and material needs, and how things are progressing. Thanks for praying!
Here we go again
