All the prayers are keeping us going. What a blessing! Thank everyone so much for all of us. The last news we've had on Jane and Judy is that Jane is feeling better. But they took two liters of fluid immediately from around her lungs, and each day following a liter per day. I believe they have checked her heart now and it seems to be OK. But the information is sketchy. Almost everyone is expecting that Jane will have to return with the main group rather than stay.

We are trying to buy some calves, deliver some new goats, make a last water project survey, and finish our main art project before heading to NTS on Saturday. A lot to do huh? We spent half of the day yesterday diagnosing a sewage system problem - had the entire system apart and everyone at TCRC involved. My sinuses are much better because "mothers" Lorien and Judy have me taking every pill known to man. I may overdose, but at least I won't have a sinus infection.

Tonight we are attending a conference on the needs of children like those at TCRC. It is being held in town and Rick has had to prepare un unexpected presentation for the event. He is doing very well considering how much last minute stuff he has had dished his way.

There is so much more to say, but time - as always - is short on the internet stops. The picture of everyone gathered in the living room praying for us - and of course eating some good things too - really touched my heart.
