Update on Sharlene

Sharlene went to the Dr.'s in Canada this last Tuesday. It was a whirlwind tour, for sure. We drove her up to Los Angeles Airport starting at 7am on Monday and she caught a 1:30pm flight to Calgary arriving at 5:30pm in Canada.
She and Lisa Sawatzky went looking for a jacket for Shar ( it does get chilly here in winter and a fall coat is needed!!) and out for supper.
Tuesday Shar took the bus and C-Train to her Dr.'s appointment, waited for an hour, had a 10 minute appointment at which the Doc said everything looked good! She is healing well and progressing well and needs to keep going! Her biggest challenge is re-training the muscles so that her leg walks normally--right now she still has a bit of a limp and some stiffness, but none of the joint pain! Praise God!

From there she hopped a train and then a bus to the airport where she caught a 5:30pm flight to Los Angeles VIA Vancouver and was back in LA at 9:30 that night. From Landing in Calgary to Take off the next day she was in Canada for 24 hours and 3 minutes!!

Thank you for praying for Sharlene and her recovery. She is doing well and is progressing as she should. God has been very faithful to provide for our needs, including a whirlwind Canadian medical trip ( She has been back to Canada 3 times in 4 months!) as well as our vehicle importation issues...

Speaking of Vehicle Importation... I have our 1991 Ford Explorer in the importation process still. Usually it takes 3-5 days, this has been in for over a month now. The lady who has been doing the importation shut down her office (I don't know if she is out of business!!) but keeps in contact on the phone saying it will be soon--- We have had paperwork issues and I'm not sure what else is holding it up, but the main issue is that with me working out in East Tijuana teaching the Bible Institute classes, the roads out there are beating my van to pieces. I was out there 4 times last week for classes and helping a little girl get to dr.'s appointments in the city and my van takes a beating on the rough roads every time. The Explorer 4x4 will be more apt to handle the rough roads, we are hoping...

Please pray that this gets imported soon! Hopefully today!

Thanks for praying and partnering with us!!

Until Next time,

Mike
