Three of our faithful church members are facing serious health concerns. Chu has been diagnosed with cancer in various parts of his body. He has begun chemo and radiation. This is his second time through this battle. He had previously faced a colon bypass but has been fine for several years.
His sister Ana has been having problems with high blood pressure. She has undergone a battery of tests and is scheduled for a catherization. Her husband Efrain is also facing problems with blood pressure. They are handling things pretty well, but it's hard for them to understand why this is happening to the three of them at the same time.
Pray also for Milagros who is in the 7th month of a high-risk pregnancy. She has followed doctor's orders as best she can with two small children to care for. Her husband Jorge has been without work for a while as well.
Our final request is for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our outreach efforts and our church family. We yearn to see God work in hard hearts to the praise of His glory.

Steven and Diane
On Friday, October 16, our son Steven married Diane Ashcraft. We were able to make the trip and be on hand from Monday (the 12th) until Saturday. Most of the preparations were done before our arrival, but we were able to help on some of the details. The ceremony featured Elwood Sr as the officiating minister. Teresa's aunt made a beautiful wedding cake and lots of sweets. Everything went well as we welcomed a second daughter into the family.
On Saturday morning, Steven awoke to severe abdominal pain. He soon realized that the pain was increasing, so he had Diane take him to the hospital. The diagnosis was a kidney stone! He has never had kidney stones before, but thankfully it passed and they were able to resume the honeymoon later in the day.
We enjoyed being with family once again and even got to see our 4-month-old nephew for the first time. Our return to Puerto Rico was a smooth trip with no unexpected difficulties. Praise the Lord for His goodness.
