Mongolia and Beyond






Mongolia....an awesome country! We were privileged to visit Mongolia for a month and especially to visit with our son Mark, his wife Cinda, and children Annika and Toby. They live north of the capital of UlanBataar in the town of Darhan. We were about 50 miles south of Siberia. Beautiful Mongolia...the 'Land of the Endless Sky'. While 1.5 million people live in the capital, 1.5 others are scattered in the countryside and other towns. Many are nomadic, living in gers that they can move along with their livestock from place to place. Cows, horses, goats, sheep are everyday sightings, even outside your front door.

Mark and family work with many others in a NGO capacity. Mark is involved with a Christian Leadership Training Center, training church leaders from around the country. We celebrated the graduation of 6 who had completed this two year training program. Multiple other programs also take place. Cinda teaches ESL classes.

Returning to our lives in the states, we gratefully received the news today of good labs and a good examination. Thank you Lord again...! for your provision of life.

Pictures of Mongolia to follow...let me know if you wish to see them. Linda

Another Three Months


Three months have gone by from the 'Blizzard of 2011'. We have waited a long time this spring for some warmth and sunshine.

Today, my reports from the oncologist and the lab were all good! Those who have been this way know what it is like to wait for those numbers. I am so grateful.

Here is a photo from today of my oncologist; my hero who has overseen my care with competence and safety. She is outstanding!

Thank you Lord for these results.

Happy Spring.....Linda

Snow, Sunshine and Good Report


Following up examination today as well as blood work were all within good limits.

I was diagnosed and had surgery ONE YEAR ago today!

While I am feeling quite well, it is good to also get confirmation from the Dr. and with lab results.

Enjoy your weather, around the globe as we enjoy the sunshine and snow in Chicago.


"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness."
