Heading to Mayo on Wed. (Oct 8, 2010)

Dear Friends,
It has been a few weeks since our last update; sorry.
Becky is doing so much better.  Her strength has increased and she has been home since October 3rd.  The longest stretch since March.  Her pain is being controlled as is her nausea.    We had two days of vomiting but it was not every thirty minutes nor did it last long.
She was able to attend church last Sunday and a friend took her to a lunch gathering that was close to our house with the promise that if Becky showed any sign of trouble that she would bring her home.  Becky did very well, but came home and slept most of the afternoon.  It is amazing  what is taxing to her.
We are on for Mayo this coming week.  Mayo is a twelve-hour drive.  The time that she has had this month to get stronger has been a real blessing.  It will just be her and I on the road trip.  Please keep our travel in prayer as well as the doctors that we are to meet with.  We have been introduced to a couple in MN by some dear friends in AZ that has a guest house/room that we will be staying in.  They are about 5 miles from Mayo Clinic.  How wonderful it is to be in the family of Christians that open their home to strangers; only united in Christ.
Steve is doing well and will be teaching during our travel.
Mary is doing well and will find out if she is getting a second job at a clinic on the West side.  It will expose her to area’s of nursing that will be very beneficial in Uganda.
Her side business ’31′ has been a blessing for her to share about Uganda as well as share the gospel to all ladies that attend.  Her testimony is also on the invitations and thank you notes.  She is in contact with the missionary family in Uganda as to what is needed the most so that she will be sure to bring it when she goes in January. 
I am busy working night shift.  I have not figured out how to get my schedule right.  I’m sure I’ll get it eventually.
Words cannot express our love and thankfulness for all of you and your prayers for Becky and for us.  THANK YOU!
We love you all,
Beth.
