Off to El Hongo Prison

Today has been interesting. I was supposed to help with a prison outreach team this weekend, or what I thought would be only this Saturday. Instead, I've been asked to speak at a maximum-security, but high-tech prison in the mountains of Baja California called "El Hongo." This comes at a time when I really don't feel comfortable leaving Jes and the boys, let alone heading to another country. It appears God is trying to stretch me out a bit. We come back tomorrow at 4 p.m., and I will be anxious to get home. I'll let you know how it goes...JG

Strange things happening

Here it is just a day after I successfully delegated away all but one project at work......I told my department that I would be taking the next several weeks off of work last Friday, as it looked like the beginning of the end for Jeseca......she broke down into tears and admitted that she didn't think she was going to make it. The pain is too much to bear. There are absolutely no options for treatment. And she was no longer motivated to fight it.

But there has been a dramatic turn of events. Where every night came with pain, now there is none. Her liver has softened; it was rock hard. Best of all, she had an "overwhelming" sense as she approached a local supermarket today that she has been healed. Whoooooohooooooooo!!!!!!

I don't really know what else to say. Last week we were preparing ourselves for the worst. Tonight we're praising God for doing the impossible! We're gonna wait to tell the world about it for a few days, and probably go in to see our oncologist and have him take a look, but for now, we are overjoyed with the possibility that God has shown Himself strong and brought us through! Man, He's good! JG
