Dear family & friends,
Life has been a whirlwind, but we are aware God is in control even in this. A week ago we wrote about going to Mexico for treatment, it went well. It was an adventure, definitely a worthwhile one! My pain continued to increase along the way and that wasn’t fun at all, so getting some serious pain management became the most important thing. We did get to the Hoxsey clinic and have come away with the herbal tonic for cancer as well as other alternative remedies that I am beginning to consume!

While there I had a CT scan and found that the cancer has grown significantly, now it has spread through my whole abdomen, from under my ribs down to my pelvis, not good. Due to this, the doctor has advised me to to go to Australia for 3 months of radiation in conjunction with the Hoxsey tonic to give the cancer a good kick!

So we are doing a quick organise in Chiang Rai and I am planning to be in Adelaide for 3 months (where I will have the support of my children and other friends). Paul will stay with me/us until he feels our situation is stable then he will probably return to Chiang Rai to keep things going there.

So even though things didn’t go as we expected, we are okay, we totally know God will bring good out of this. God isn’t surprised by this and He has a good plan for my future, I know that…. that’s His promise.

We need you to pray for us, and our children – both our birth children and our Baan Nam Jai children – as well as the rest of our family, and those we love here in Chiang Rai.

If it were me, I could think of so many reasons why it would be better if this weren’t happening BUT life is not about what I think is best. I know I have so much to learn, so I will look to Jesus with joy in my heart… I want to learn to be all I am meant to be.

with love from us both,
Paul & Penny
