Hello dears,
I am back in the states. I flew back on Monday after a brief conference with Sister Gloria, the director of the program, and Sor. Pati on Sunday afternoon. We all agreed that since I was not healing there, the time had come to return to my home and seek medical attention here. To that tune I saw my doctor today and he said "You have something, I don't know what it is yet, but you have something." I said "Good, I'm glad to hear this isn't the new normal." I had some tests done and he was going to talk to a colleague who apparently does most of the parasite work in town so hopefully we will know soon what seems to be causing my symptoms.

Throughout all of this though, I have only felt the greatest peace and joy in our Lord. I love the people and where I was working in El Salvador, but I know that right now he wants me to be right here to do some healing. After this...who knows?

News break: I just got off the phone with the doctor's office and the colleague agrees that I have an acute amoeba blah blah infection which needs to be treated or it could turn into a liver infection. The meds will take two weeks, after which I will have to produce a clean sample. So I guess I know I'll be here for two weeks!

Oh Lord, to you I entrust my entire being, all that I am, knowing with total confidence that you are my Lord and you will care for me and lead me forward in the best way and according to your holy will. I surrender the desire to know anything else to you.

God bless you friends, wherever you are, God bless you.
