We returned from our Miami Church Conference feeling uplifted by the many conversations and acts of encouragement from other delegates! The sessions, worship/prayer times and socializing were very encouraging to Mark. Admittedly we're physically tired, yet we feel energized in our spirits for what lies ahead. Today was a trial run in radiology; tomorrow the real thing begins at noon, preceeded by the oral chemo pill (and other pills) before we leave from Lansdale by train for Philly. This will be a very intense six weeks.
We have spoken with Kris several times since her return to Thailand. She is back to her rigorous teaching schedule. We like to stay connected with our son Jeff's family. This summer is different however, in that we will not have our grandchildren, Wesley and Viola, at our home very often. They will soon be off for a week of camp.
Again we all want to thank you for your sustaining prayers that keep us going!

Hi Mark and Nan,
I've been thinking of you a lot yesterday and today as the chemo and radiation begins and wondering what I could do to ease the pain. Well I'm continuing to pray and I'll be sending some Johnson's Popcorn up from the shore! Hope that helps. Marie
Hi Mark and Nan,
I need to agree with Linda Mertz, that there is in fact, life after treatment, as we have experience with our family's touch of God's grace with Eric, who was in treatment at the same time of year, 8 years ago, when he we were faced with his cancer and he entered into his chemotherapy. With the power of prayer and God's grace he is healthy and well and living a full life. We know that you were there for us, prayed for us and we want to know that we are praying for the same healing prayer and God's grace for you to experience and be a witness for those who follow us in this journey.
Love,
Jan Turner
