Dear praying friends,
As most of you know Ingrid Giles has been working down here in Jerez for several years as a short-term assistant, translating our Sunday school curriculum, teaching Sunday school and doing some individual discipleship with several of the ladies in our church. She also teaches our girls Spanish. She was recently told that she had a couple tumors in her abdomen that needed to be removed as soon as possible.
A couple days later Ingrid received some good news from a second opinion she got from a doctor here in town. He said he seriously doubted if the tumors she has are malignant and though she needed the surgery to remove them, it wasn't as urgent as was originally thought. They are going to go through all the normal tests before hand anyway, just to make sure. She is going to be staying here in Jerez for the surgery and her mom is going to fly down from Phoenix to stay with her. From what I understand she'll probably have the surgery in about 2 weeks or so. If you'd like to drop her a note of encouragement her e-mail address is xe2ab9ku@gmail.com and I know that she would greatly appreciate your prayers.
In Christ,
Todd and Barb Schierkolk
