on their way

Well, we are home again, and Dave n Lisa with Torry should arrive in Tijuana in an hour or 2. After the colon scope was finished, the doctor said that Torry couldn't fly until next week Wednesday. So Dave n Lisa had a couple hours of feeling a bit disappointed and wondering what to do next, but after they talked with the doctor again and explained that they really didn't feel good about cancelling the trip , and the doctor saw that Torry was doing very well, then he gave permission for them to fly today. That was a huge relief. Your prayers make a difference! -Tina RF

Dave n Lisa's plans are to go to Chetumal early this afternoon.Peter and I are taking them. Torry is scheduled to have another colon scope early tomorrow morning to remove some pile ups. Then they plan to fly out to Tijuana from Chetumal on Sunday morning. They expect Torry's treatments inTijuana will take about 4 wks. 
Your prayers are appreciated greatly during this time when the family needs to be separated again. -Tina RF

test results

Dave n Lisa received Torry's tests results last night. 6 out of 40 lymph nodes were cancerous. That is a higher percentage than Dave had.So the doctor says they definitely need to give Torry chemo treatments. So please pray for them as they make decisions about further treatments.Pray for strength and rest in the Lord as they face this difficult situation.

the day went well

Torry has enjoyed meeting his siblings today. We brought the children along , then after spending a few hours with Torry at the hospital, Jody, Jake and Darrel went along home with Panco n Esther. Cordell stays in Chetumal.
Torry has enjoyed playing 'UNO' with John Wayne n Cordell. He has also sat up in a chair for a while today. That felt like a step forward for Torry.-Tina RF

Don't Waste Your Pain

  All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.


Personal adversity and suffering give us a new compassion for others who are in pain. Someone who has suffered can minister with great compassion to another person who is experiencing the same kind of adversity.

I believe the most effective person to minister to someone who has been diagnosed with cancer is a cancer survivor, because he or she can say, "I know what you are going through. I know what it is like to hear that news. Let me tell you what I did. Let me tell you how I have gotten through this."

A person with a disability can minister more effectively to another person with a disability than someone who doesn't have one at all. They can say, "I, too, struggle. I, too, have to deal with this. But let me share with you how God has helped me."

A person who has lost a loved one often can minister more effectively to someone else who has lost a loved one. They know what it is like.

The apostle Paul wrote that God "comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ" (2 Corinthians 1:4–5).

Don't waste your pain. If you have gone through hardship, if you have gone through adversity or are going through difficulty, God can use you to help someone else. God can open up your heart and give you opportunities to minister to people in ways you never have had before.

This is one of the things that suffering can bring about in a person's life. And nothing ever happens accidentally to a child of God.

David , Lisa are sitting outside Torrys room and visiting with some visitors. Presently Tina( sis of Lisa) is with Torry in his mild sleep. He admits to have slight pain.
Andres B Friesen( hus to Tina) will leave for Merida  at midnight with Torry's cancer tissue to test at a lab for quicker results. Results should return in two days instead of two weeks thru shipping. John Lee Duecks with 13yr old son (Man. Ca) have been a tremendous help and support from the start off. - Isaac
