Prayer for a Friend

We made some super amazing friends during our time in the desert.  Really we were adopted by a loving church family.  Two of our closest friends were a couple by the name of Kat and Ralf.  Shad and Ralf did a lot of fishing and hunting together and while they were doing that Kat and I hit the mall (an hour away).  But more than that, they were like family to us when we were so far away from ours.  I truly believe that God placed them in our lives over there.

Well, Ralf found out today that the growth they removed from his eye area, last week, is cancer.  He is going back to the specialist tomorrow so he can go back in and make sure he got it all out.  It looks like Ralf will also be starting radiation therapy on the area.  They, and I, are asking for prayer.  God is the Great Physician and Healer and He is able to heal Ralf.  And I also pray that the treatment will be as painless as possible and Ralf will be back to his old self as quick as possible.  If you could also join us in prayer it would be much appreciated. 

Thank you!

Just spent some time praying for them tonight. I've only dealt with Maisey's little eye cyst and that has been a trial and faith-builder in and of itself, and yet it does not EVEN compare to what your friends are going through. Also praying for you and Shad, for your hearts to be strengthened in this, as hearts are always heavy and thoughts weighty when our friends are hurting. May the God of all peace be with you both. Keep us posted.
