Thank you all who have been praying for Grandpa Fil. His surgery went well, but the news wasn't good news. We are now praying for healing and God's will as we've learned that Grandpa has a very rare cancer of the gall bladder. The tumor is aggressive and has attached to his liver and intestine as well, so we aren't sure how much longer we have with him.
I was blessed to be able to visit him along with my family this past week. Dad, Amanda and I drove up there to meet my mom who was already there (in Albq.) We spent several days there just tending to Grandpa and spending some quality time. I got to spend a few hours with him all to myself. He told me many stories about his life, and the time is invaluable to me. I love him with all my heart, and I soaked in every word. It was so neat because he didn't know we were coming, so he was SO surprised, I think God really used us to help cheer him up. He's very positive about the whole situation...and that spurs us on with hope and prayer. Please continue to pray for him, and our family. We're so thankful to have such a strong man of faith in our Grandpa Fil, he is a living testimony of God's mercy, grace and favor.
