Surgery Date for Sharlene

We have a date for surgery for Sharlene's hip. For those of you who don't know, Shar has hip dysplasia. It is a condition she was born with but didn't present itself until she was pregnant with the boys. She was officially diagnosed with it 2 or 3 years ago and it became apparant that she would someday need surgery (hip replacement). It has worsened quickly over the last 3 years or so and she uses a cane almost all the time now. She is in pain almost constantly and sometimes needs a heating pad at night to help her get to sleep.

The Doctor in Canada has set a date of July 5th for her Surgery. She has a pre-appointment on June 26th. She will need 6 weeks convalescence in Saskatoon area before going back to Mexico ( August 16th or so)

I will be speaking at Bible camps from July 8-29 and will have the boys with me. Shar has had a couple people say she could stay with them while she convalesces, we're going to begin making arrangements for that.

Here are the things you could be praying for...

1. We need places to stay! Right now the plan is to arrive back in Canada on June 15th or so- but that may change if we can get saskhealth to extend our healthcare for another two weeks out of country.
2. I would like to have the opportunity to speak in Churches to share our vision for ministry while we are back in Canada.
3. For Shar to heal well and for the surgery to go well.
4.For the boys and I as we venture across the province of Saskatchewan speaking at camps.
5. We are contemplating the idea of flying back, because we're not sure our van has 2 more long-distance trips in it. Mexico has been tough on the beast... therefore we would need a vehicle to use for the 2 months we are in Canada.

Thanks!!

Until next time,
