Today was a wonderfully full day. Our "camp" crew came to visit today = Brouses, Kuennings, and Davises. We had three four-year-olds (Lindsey, Phoebe, Mason) up to visit Chuck. They brought such a joyous energy. You know Chuck though ... little tolerance for joyous energy! Hannah (10) came as well. She has matured so much ... she is a joy to be around. Needless to say, it was a HUGE blessing to spend time with friends. I miss everyone so much. Chuck and I can't wait to get home!!!!

Chuck's just holding steady right now ... awaiting an improvement in his skin. This is the hard part ... waiting and hoping.

Please pray Chuck's wounds heal. Please pray for something GREAT to happen that will motivate, inspire, and encourage him.
