Wow! Where Has the Time Gone??!!!


There is a huge gap in my reporting on this blog as you can see! I guess that since the time Padre began feeling so bad, we haven't had the "umph" to keep up. So, in a nut shell here is an update.

After numerous tests to determine the cause of Padre Ron's stomach pain, it was decided by our wonderful Peruvian nurses and doctors that he should return to the US for further exams. So in November Ron and Vicki returned to the US thinking a gallbladder surgery might be needed. Thus no goodbyes were said and they expected to be back in Peru by Christmas. Fortunately Ron had excellent doctors in the US who were able to determine that he has pancreatic cancer. After a couple of weeks in the hospital (he did miss the Thanksgiving turkey!)he was released to continue treatments from home. The Lord provided a wonderful apartment close to granddaughter Sadie (also Kimi and Brian)and many angels from local churches settled them in quickly.

Praise God with us that with the prayers and medications Ron is PAIN FREE and nausea is under control. Vicki and Ron have settled into a routine of doctor visits, naps, and enjoying quiet time together. Please pray with us that God's will be done and that, if it be according to His Will, a healing miracle would occur. He has already worked many marvelous miracles that we must thank Him for.

Ministry still goes on, however, as Ron and Vicki work on cementing relationships between Arequipa, Peru, and the DFW Metroplex.

We were thrilled to Padre Juan Carlos and Deacon Maria visit us Feb. Here is a pic of them as they left the US after visiting with all their US team friends.
