We Have So Much To Tell You .........

We have to tell you how amazing God is. In the past week, here is what we've been personally able to see God doing.

1. Our friend, Stacy, is currently in Mongolia ministering to orphans.  Each year, in October, she collects backpacks filled with school supplies and other stuff, and then takes them all to Mongolia to distribute to kids.  For this trip, they had 3 people traveling and 38 bags.  I'm sure you've all heard the news about baggage fees on airlines these days.  Well, United Airlines waived over $6,000 in fees and told them to have a great trip!  Amazing.  Keep track of their trip here:  http://www.2mongoliawego.blogspot.com/

2.  A good friend of ours found out a few days ago that his aunt had a stroke.  He asked on Facebook for everyone to pray.  The doctors were saying there was no brain activity, so he and his dad were about to make the trip to where she was in order to help make final arrangements.  Then, she moved a finger, so the doctors were doing more tests.  They concluded there was definitely no brain activity.  Then, the next update we heard, was that she was off the ventilator, breathing on her own, and communicating!!!!!!!  The next day, she was sitting up, talking, and eating!  She is having some issues with her fine motor skills and things like that.  But what a miracle!!!!!  The doctors have no explanation for going from zero brain activity for several days to this!  The explanation is God.

3.  For several years, Aaron and I have put together shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.  For the past 2 years, we've gotten our small group Bible study friends excited about it and we've put boxes together with them.  This year, our church decided to do it as a church-wide event.  We held a family night a few weeks ago where we all learned about the kids and families who receive the shoeboxes.  Our church collected over 100 shoeboxes for kids all around the world!!!!!!  We're so blessed to be able to be a part of that!
