Well, we made it home. Linda does not have pneumonia and the doctors wanted her home for Thanksgiving. How thankful we are for this place we call home. After a trial like this, it makes my heart overflow with gratitude, also, for the new home Jesus is preparing for those who know Him! And, we are so thankful for our family. All of our near blood relatives walk with the Lord, so our rejoicing is complete.
And what can we say of the family of God? Do you know that a church in Rome, Italy (really) called a special prayer meeting for Linda!?! Thank you, dear brothers and sisters at Dragona Church - and thank you for loaning Joe Hunziker (especially you, Stefania, Aaron, Mattia, and Gioia) to us for a week. What a blessing he was to our family at a time of great difficulty, and what a great blessing he was to Grace Community Church. And thank you, dear brothers and sisters in Christ all over the world who prayed for us in these last hours. Oh, how God answers prayers - we are home for Thanksgiving, and thankful for our home and our family.
That, of course, would be a good place to stop, but I want to add how amazed and grateful we are for the loving personal care that Linda has received from EVERY ONE of her doctors! You cannot believe how every one of at least 10 doctors has shown intentional love and care that is well beyond the call of duty for those in the medical profession. Once again, God is good to us. I close with the words I have heard more times in the last 24 hours than I can count - WE LOVE YOU!

Praise God that Linda was able to come home and that your family is all together. Know that our family is faithfully praying for Linda and your family. Isn't it wonderful that we have hope in the Lord and know that He is our strength for each day.
We love you all,

You are in our thoughts and prayers daily. I'm so thankful Linda could be home for Thanksgiving. I talked with Mrs. Faile last Saturday and Mr. Faile on Monday. We pray the new treatment way will help and Linda will soon improve. God is in control and we will continue asking Him to give both of you the strength you need as well as the children and extended family. We love you.
