We wanted to contact you with our progress thus far. Since you posted the prayer request, we have felt much support in the Spirit! God also sent in two very directed and timely phone calls. One from England and one from Missouri...dear friends in Christ from years ago.

Last night, (Friday) I felt greater peace and calmness in my body, mind, and spirit. I was able to fall asleep naturally, two different times for two hours each period. I know that doesn't sound like much to some folks, and we are trusting God for much more, but for me it was a miracle. We KNOW this is a blessed and special time from the Lord as we are all bound together in love and in the Spirit.

All day today, Saturday, I have felt more calmness in my nervous system. I have not experienced the usual tearing in my chest and limbs. Praise God! This was my sixth day without any medicines. The doctor said most of the meds would be out of my body in five days. I'm still very weak at times, especially after eating my food, but trusting God for that too. Most of my day is just resting, doing very little, only a short walk, and some limited visiting.

We are hoping and believing in the kind mercies of the Lord to continue this healing process. God has been so merciful to me already. We praise Him for His increased peace!

We feel your prayers throughout the day and especially at night when we retire. Dale is so kind and loving also, massaging my feet, or whatever it takes to help me go to sleep. What a comfort and hope you all are bringing to our home. Thank you from our hearts.

We will continue to make timely updates.
God bless you all. Love, and good night!

Rita and Dale
