Shortly after the students began to arrive, a missionary family from Zambia came to stay in one of the apartments, the Becker family. Their purpose was to get their Land Rover repaired. Though the Becker's are independent missionaries, they have a good relationship with the PH missionaries here. (Quite the example of missionaries creating their own families away from home if you ask me.) While they were here, Beth wanted to see a doctor to have a lump she had found in her breast checked out. Unfortunately, the diagnosis was not good. She has breast cancer. Beth, Dave, and their youngest son, Scott began a tumultuous ride they didn't bargain for. Rather than my trying to get all the details straight, you can read Beth's story at her Caring Bridge site. We have all become quite fond of the Becker family and will certainly miss them when we return and they are not here.
Beth had her first round of chemo this past Wednesday and so far she is doing great! Please help us pray that this will be the trend for Beth. She's got a long road ahead of her, and we are praying that God will perform a miracle.
Thanks for your prayers!
