Shari’s not feeling well at all<\/i> – and that was how our day started.  So, that changed everything.<\/p>\n

We were all going to be ready for the service (with our song practised) at 9am, when I was going to help with the setup and practise with the worship band.  Instead, we were trying to help Mom and figure out what was wrong with her.<\/p>\n

We didn’t make a lot of progress – we just knew that she wasn’t feeling well.  So, eventually (after a lot of discussion and prayer) we left her to rest and we went back to Jesús María.<\/p>\n

The rest of the gang were having their own problems.<\/b>  The tent was late getting set up (no way we’re going to fit more visitors in our normal little room!), the sound system wasn’t working – I don’t know what all happened.  But in the end, it must have started quite late – so we didn’t miss any of it.<\/p>\n

I checked on Shari regularly throughout the service, and she… still wasn’t feeling well.<\/p>\n

The service itself was really great.<\/b>  Great testimonies, music, prayer, preaching… lots of visitors – a good time had by all.  I sang the song Shari and I were going sing by myself.  It brought a tear to everyone’s eye… because I was singing and Shari wasn’t!   \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n

No, the song went all right, considering the lack of practice time.<\/p>\n

After the service there was a fabulous smelling layout of food – but I already was concerned about leaving Shari for so long, and I knew she would need food.  So we went home to eat.<\/p>\n

It’s a rather strange turn-around that I missed the first service of the church because I was sick, and Shari missed the 1st anniversary one year later because she was sick.<\/p>\n

Well, Shari is doing all right.  She’s taking it easy.  Likely we’ll head to the doctor tomorrow to see if we can get some more answers.<\/p>\n

So, in the end<\/b> – great service!  Praise the Lord for what He’s doing in Jesús María!  And – thanks for your prayers for Shari.  She’s doing ok, and we’re taking good care of her.<\/p>\n
