Prayer Request

Hola, Mi Familia y Amigas!

Hello, My Family and Friends!

 

Thank you for your patience as I haven’t sent out a newsletter since June. I went to Mexico for a month and then visited family/friends in the USA. It was so nice seeing some of you when I was in the USA.

 

Although, I had a good furlough, I've also had some health concerns during the last couple of months. To be honest, I don't always feel comfortable sharing personal health updates with people, but I believe that God wants to use each of you as the body of Christ.  Also, by sharing you can join me in prayer for my health.

 

Back in July, I started to have lower back pain.  After a few months of on and off pain, I thought it might be something wrong with my muscles. I decided to make an appointment with the chiropractor in the middle of September. I received some treatments, but unfortunately I still was experiencing a lot of pain.

 

I returned to Jamaica on September 19 still experiencing the pain, but as I thought more I realized I was also experiencing more symptoms—such as abdominal pain. I decided to see a doctor in Jamaica right away. For most of my life, there have been health problems, however the doctors have not been able to find results and answers— which has been frustrating.  So I was happy when the doctor in Jamaica refered me for an ultrasound and more tests to find out what was happening in my body.

 

In the last week, I have taken multiple tests, got the results, and have seen a specialist.  It has been a busy week! Praise God we have figured out what has been causing the pain this summer and I got a diagnosis that makes perfect sense of many of the symptoms I have experienced for a long time.

 

Yesterday, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) after finding two cysts on my ovaries. One cyst caused one of my ovaries to be enlarged, and then the cyst recently ruptured.  This is what was causing my pain this summer.  As I shared my history with the specialist she was able to diagnosis me with PCOS.

 

The good news is that everything should dissolve and go back to normal on its own in a week or two. I have pain medicine, am taking a week to rest, and have another appointment in 3 weeks to do a check-up on how my body is healing.  We will also talk more about possible treatments and moving forward without similar complications.

 

I kindly ask you to pray for me.  Please pray that I can stay in peace and trust God through this process, remembering He knows what's best for my body.  Thank you so much for your prayers and I will keep you updated.

 

(Note: I want to communicate that I wear my mask when warranted. In photos, you will see I don't have my mask on. This is brief for the photos, immediately after mask is back on. I always ask if this is okay because I value respect for others. I added some pictures during my summer furlough in Mexico below. I will share the testimony about Mexico when I get better. Enjoy!)

 

 

Love in Christ,

The Calling to Gambia

Image
  Gambia   (West Africa) Hello, Family and Friends! I have great news! God has called me to Gambia. Next year I will be working with two deaf missionaries, Josiah and Elizabeth Smith. They have two beautiful deaf children: an eight-month-old and a two-year-old. I met them at my graduation of disciple training school (DTS) last February. They are self-employed missionaries but partnered with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Gambia. They normally don't have a team but because I obtained God's calling they will. Many unbelievable happenings occurred in which God answered our prayers and led us to each other. I want to share that story with you. The Smith family joined with YWAM DC ASL to commission me to Brazil. -05/04/18- The Smith family returned in  Gambia   from the USA -July 2018 The Smiths visited us at YWAM DC dinners a few times before I went back to Brazil. It was nice to get to know them more and talk about their experiences working in the Gambia. This is what s...

Put Feet to My Faith Greetings!  I hope your summer is off to a good start! As always, thank you for your prayers and support. I really appreciate your encouraging messages! I praise God for everything that He has done for us! I did so well during the Deaf Theology Center (DTC) season in Tennessee! I only have four weeks left to go! I am really looking forward to the DTC ceremony on June 3rd. SCRIPTURE   "I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you." Joshua 1:3 New Ministry in Process I want to share a short update about my new ministry. I had a meeting with some very knowledgeable and experienced people related to establishing new ministries. We discussed cross-culture, vision, and bylaws for my ministry. I know it will take a while  to prepare and develop, but I trust God to make it happen in His perfect timing. I am actively seeing how God places people in each other’s paths to get together for His purpose. I have a...

God Hears & Answers Prayers

Image
Greetings from Jacksonville, Illinois! I arrived here on the 22nd of August because I had a family emergency, my grandpa was close to death. I wanted to share with you a beautiful testimony about how God and His plan all came together to answer my prayers in the middle of my furlough season after the scripture below.   SCRIPTURE "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it." John 14:13-14   Sharing Testimony About My  Papa Last Tuesday, August 18, my mom informed me that my grandpa was not doing well, so I prayed, “God, please bring together plans for me to fly from Texas. Please spare my  papa ’s life until I can see him. I ask this of you, I trust you. I trust your timing. This is your plan, not mine.” My family relatives have been visiting him. I constantly prayed everyday until when I landed at the airport on Saturday, August 22. I got home that night and prayed that my...
