Thanks for the prayers for my dad. The surgery lasted one hour and forty-five minutes, and Dad spent 2-3 hours in recovery. The doctor believes that he was able to remove all the tumor. Joel and Amelia enjoyed visiting Grandpa in the hospital. Now Dad is home, and Mom is nursing him back to health. Please pray for grace for both of them during this time. We are supporting them as we are able to, driving back and forth on the weekends. We appreciate your support in prayer. Please pray for him as he has an appointment with the doctor on November 3 to check on his progress and to determine if anything else needs to be done at this time.

Please pray for my dad as he undergoes surgery on Monday, September 13, to remove a malignant tumor in his bladder. We are praying for him and Mom that they would feel God's peace and presence during this time. We trust the Lord for His will to be done. They are in the BEST HANDS that we could ever leave them in. Dad especially has a special place in Amelia's heart as you can see from these pictures. She adores him and he her. Thanks for your prayer support. It means a great deal to us.

After yet another move and change, we are all thrilled to be settled and ready for this new year of adventure, visiting supporters, participating in church programs, corresponding, seeking new ministry partners, relaxing, home schooling, etc. We would love to have visitors. Most people haven't caught up with us yet. We moved here on September 5 and spent Labor Day unpacking. So PACK YOUR BAGS AND VISIT US IN THE POCONOS! Many thanks to my parents for their gracious hospitality while we stayed with them for the first two months. I'm sure the

So much has happened in the couple months that we have been back in PA after four years in Guam. We're just now getting settled in our new place that has wireless internet, so I'll post more later (I know, you've heard that promise before). Now that it's easier and more convenient. Thanks for your prayers for us as we are adjusting to a new life here during our home ministry assignment. We traveled to Ocean City, NJ, to see my brother-in-law's group, Glad, in concert. It was great to catch up with him and my sister Heidi, pictured here with Joel and Amelia. We also enjoyed being at the ocean again, although I would have to admit that the Jersey shore is much different than Guam. My sister Laura and Cole and Erin visited us in July. Joel and Amelia enjoyed reconnecting with their cousins. They really didn't remember them from our last visit here during the summer of 2007. We went camping at Rickett's Glen State Park (Benton, PA) the first week of Augus
