Another BLOW!!!

It is crazy to think that at the age of 13 months that they can tell all that they can about a child's future speech. The doctor said that we would need an X-ray and some other tests to confirm but that he saw hundreds of children and that he was pretty sure that the soft palate (the one that dictates how and if you are able to speak) would have to be operated on to elongate it. He said that would happen about 6 months down the road and then they would need about 6 months after that to be evaluating and making sure that it was ok. If it is operated on and worked through then he should have no problems but if we don't do what they recommend now then it could get even more complicated. This means that we will have to be in the states for at least one more year. Pray for us as we are really wanting to be back in Peru but for now this is where we are. I am studying through the book of Philippians right now and I can tell you that it is amazing how God has used it in my life to help me grow and realize that rejoicing through this time will help me to grow and fulfill God's purpose in our lives. Pray for us as we will be here for one more year. Chris

Chris, we love you and are praying for you guys. You and your family are a prime example of Christians who love God, regardless of circumstances, and never stop serving Him.
Paul couldn't always control his circumstances, yet served the Lord both in jail and in joyful times. I see this in you and your family. Keep up the good work! We are praying.
Thanks that means a lot to us. God is good.
