     Thank you all so much for praying. The weekend went well with few uncomfortable events. The surgery basically felt as though I bit my tongue in several places at the same time and had a sore throat. It was actually a probe that was inserted and then charged with radio frequency to vaporize the various sections of my tongue, palate and a few other parts. I apologize for several errors in the update on Thursday, but everyone was so kind as to not mention them. The deviated was not the palate but rather the septum. It appears everyone read past the mistakes and realized I had just arrived home. We have worked diligently with the many canker sores and they are slowly disappearing.
     Today was my first post-op doctor visit and he was happy with the results. When asked his opinion about the progress he simply stated, "Well, very well." I do not return for 10 days which says a lot. He had predicted that I would probably need to return in two days. Healing has begun and the results will not truly be seen for several weeks yet, but I already know that air is passing through (even swollen) passages that have not functioned for years. I had never realized the fact until I got it back again. How could I have been breathing at a very low percentage of normal and not realize it?
     I do ask that as the Lord reminds you, you whisper a prayer for good healing and for the results we pray for. IF this all works out to lower my blood pressure and return quality to my life, I will be able to better serve Him. That is my desire. Our blessed Savior is so worthy of our praise. My doctor, Lance (Cheyenne's son), my head nurse (Cheyenne) and the floor nurse (Ann) all seem to been enduring well and have made this progress possible.
      I have received two replies that have not been able to read the blog per se, so I will send the link as well as this note in text format. Thank you so much for caring. God bless you.

Dear Praying Friends,      We are so thankful to be able to be home for furlough this year and have been in over twelve church meetings since arriving. It is so good to see how God brought His churches through the tough times of the pandemic and is slowly rebuilding those ministries as well as ours. Our God is always faithful.      Casey, Ann’s mother, is doing well with good days and days less joyful. She completed pin-point radiation and will have to wait a total of three months to see how effective it was towards the tumor. She had hesitated in going ahead with the treatment, but decided she should try to see if that would at least slow down the growth. She able to take care of her personal needs, but does need help with any extra care and at times is less stable on her

Dear Praying Friends,      You have been praying, haven't you? FIRST, Ann's bogus account was fixed, so there should be no more problems there. I don't do Facebook, but Cheyenne took care of it for us.      Yesterday was the test day for the whole church. Armando returned from Monterrey on Friday, so I scheduled a meeting with him on Saturday. The results of that will be explained in a minute.      Yesterday was also the day that our ex-deacon was to return with all the deaf he "won to Christ." It turned out that they had led 1 deaf person to the Lord. All of the rest (30-35) were people they took out of our deaf church.      Armando preached the regular service and ended the service without saying anything about his status. After the service was over, he asked if he could talk to the members. Amazingly, all non-members moved outside without a murmur. He began by explaining that he was totally in charge of taking care of his dad after his surgery because his only
