Jewel was able to have her second of three chemotherapies on Friday. It was good to be able to have a Skype conversation with her from Korea after her visit to the Clinic. While she was quite tired and was a little nauseous from the chemo, Jewel felt the impact of the chemo was significantly less than the first treatment. Jewel was grateful to have a good friend with her during the six hours of treatment and really appreciated some of the conversations she had with some of the other patients at the Cancer Clinic.
Just after she arrived back home from the Clinic, Jewel’s Aunt Jean arrived for 8 days to stay with her. I am really thankful for the support of so many in caring for Jewel.
Here in Korea, I was able to officiate at a lovely wedding for the son of a dear friend. It was very international. The groom is Korean and the bride is Chinese and they both live in Australia. The service was translated into both Korean and Chinese. The whole event was a fascinating combination of cultures and styles. Like all weddings there was a very excited (and perhaps slightly nervous) groom and a beautiful glowing bride. I particularly enjoyed wearing the white gloves.
Now I am getting ready for our board and leadership meetings. Over 200 pages of reports to review. It is exciting to see how God is at work in so many places in the world. Today is also the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. This annual event sponsored by WEA and some of our members will mobilize millions of Christians around the world in prayer. www.idop.org
Yours on the Journey,
