Recovering....Praise God!!!

Well, I wanted to let you all know that the medicines and rest is working! I already feel so much better than yesterday and I am very positive that I will make a full recovery shortly.  It has been very hard to lay in bed all day, but it sure has paid off. I can breathe normally know and my air-way passage is alot cleaner. The inflimation has also gone down. Thank you so much for all the prayers!

It was not in my plan to get ill here in Ukraine, but through it God has taught me several lessons. One of the most important of these is how blessed we are to be able to breathe everyday!!! I have taken this natural part of life for granted, and yesterday, when I could hardly breathe due to the Bronchitis, it gave me a whole new perspective! Also, it has been such a blessing to see my fellow team members step up to the plate and both take my part in the Children's Camp and take care of me during this sickness. By the way, the Children's Camp is going great! We have had about 45 children attending and it is a whole day Bible camp from 9am to 5:30pm. In the evenings, we have had evangelism with the teens and young adults of the village. (I say "we", but I obviously have not been part of this due to my sickness!)

Thank you again for your prayers and please keep them up! Pray for my full recovery and that it will happen as soon as possible. Also, please keep the other team members in your prayers, especially for their health. Ilya had to take the day off as well, because he was having some of the same symptoms that I had. We put him on bed rest and on medications to prevent him from getting worse. He is doing much better this evening. So please pray! And continue to pray for the Children's Camp....my desire is to help out later during the week, but only if I get back to full health! I will post up pictures and information about the camp soon in a later post. God bless!
