still here....

In case anyone still checks my blog after over a month absence….I’m still here and really do hope to get back into blogging and writing more soon. I know I keep saying that. For some reason, it has been difficult to find time and space to write on a more consistent basis. Don’t give up on me…hopefully, soon! I do miss it.

Thank you to all who have been praying for my grandfather and family. My grandpa’s health has been declining fast these recent weeks. The hospice nurse told my family yesterday that she believes he has 1-2 weeks left before passing. He is so ready to go to heaven! I was able to quickly speak with him about two weeks ago, which was special. He recently told my mom that Jesus holds his hand. It is a comfort to know that grandpa is experiencing God’s presence near him during these final days. Please pray for him and my grandma, who is caring for him full-time at home with the help of hospice. She is tired. It is hard to be away during times like this. But, God continues to give my family all comfort and peace across the miles. And Skype sure helps us stay in touch along the way!!

The Dean family returned to our community here in Buenos Aires this past weekend after a leave of absence! The doctors in the U.S. confirmed that Jordan is experiencing febrile seizures. They will continue to be an issue and concern when Jordan is sick with a fever, but they ruled out any longer term health issues and complications. He should out grow these seizures in a few years. We are happy to have them all back with us and look forward to sharing life, community, and mission once again. Thanks for your prayers!

I do hope to share more soon, but I at least wanted to post these prayer updates for now.
