Flooding

I have a special prayer request.

On Tuesday, Eric took Lydia to a doctor appointment. She was diagnosed with a kidney condition called nephrotic syndrome about two years ago and had a recent relapse after a sickness. Usually I go as well, but because I have sick kids at home and it was just a checkup to make sure the treatment was still working, I stayed home. We are also in rainy season and I was slightly concerned about both Eric and I being away from home.

Everything went smoothly and the doctor said her doctor said that she was responding well to treatment. After grocery shopping, they began their trip back down the mountain.

When they reached the bottom, they discovered that the bridge had flooded. So they turned back around until they could pass. The photos are aerial photos Pastor Nelson sent me of that area.

We had hoped that maybe they could return on Saturday, but have learned that the road has washed away in several areas and will be impassable until at least sometime next week.

Would you please pray that the Lord will allow things to be repaired quickly? There have been times when we are blocked off from town for a couple weeks to a month.

We are praising the Lord that He protected them and that they are in a safe location. Thank you for your prayers!
