Dear Friends,
Please pray for my father, Mark Garis, who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. He will be having surgery tomorrow, Wednesday, at University of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. He had no symptoms until a seizure led to a car accident last Thursday in which he was miraculously not injured. I had a wonderful time last month when he, my mom, and my nephew and niece came to visit me in Thailand.
I am traveling home and will arrive in New York city at 6:30 Wednesday morning. A friend will then drive me directly to the hospital in Philadelphia. We do not know the time of the surgery. Please pray that I will be able to get to the hospital with time to visit with my dad before he goes in for surgery. Pray for the doctors as they operate and then determine next steps to take.
God is good even in the midst of our trials. I have many things to be thankful for over these past few days, and God's hand has so clearly at work. Most of those details will need to wait for another email, but I just want to give you one. John and Becky Winger just arrived here in Ubon yesterday for a 3-week exploratory trip. We had various plans made for what they would do during their time here. Becky is a teacher, and we wanted to give them some opportunities to teach English. Do you see where this is going? Becky will be stepping in for me and teaching at Benchama school starting tomorrow. God is good.
Thank you so much for your prayers.
Kris

Since I have gone through similar experiences, Mark, I know what you are going through. I'm happy that God has given you peace. Just keep trusting God for a safe and speedy recovery. I will be praying for you.
