Jesus is the Light


The big day is almost here. Santi is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow morning. He has to check in at 6am, although surgery will probably be a couple of hours later. Please pray for Santi and our whole family as we wait the 13 hour surgery process.

The Lord answered prayer, and my parents were able to secure a room at the Ronald McDonald House in Gainesville today! So many things had to be approved for this stay, and we are so grateful that a room was open, and that Santi's case qualified my parents a place to rest over the next 10 days or so. We didn't know until today if the Ronald McDonald House was going to go through, so what a blessing this was! My parents only have to travel about one mile by trolley to Shands.

Ronald McDonald House if full of parents caring for their needy children at Shands. Mom said that staying their has a way of putting things into perspective, because she always meets someone that seems to have it harder or more challenging than our family.

Again, please pray as tomorrow is such a monumental day for Santi and our family. As goodbye's were being said and hugs given all around this evening, we asked Santi, "What's the word?!" and he said, "Jesus is the Light!". This is Santi's motto...may it be for the rest of us as well.

We will try to keep you posted as the day progresses...

Good Night.

Don't forget, "Jesus is the Light"!
