acShelly and I just continue to stand in awe of you guys! I mean after all we even have our very own 'run for kit t-shirt'! Some of you have stepped up and covered Shelly's work and even given of your own time. Jeff Gray & Buddy are putting together a group of craftsman to finish our cottage patio area as a gift. You have supported us financially, with powerful prayer, through encouragement, care and with compassionate hearts throughout this whole ordeal. This is the Body of Christ at work. When one of us stumbles the other is there to help them up. To have all the deep and very rich relationships Shelly and I have cultivated through the years is a testimony to God's word, in that ..."as a man sows, so shall he reap..." The countless cards and letters we get from all over the world thanking Shelly and I for things we had no idea about, things that were taking place within people's hearts, as we just loved on them. People will say things like ..."the words you spoke to me that day changed my life'...or "I was desperate and God spoke directly to me though the message you gave" or ..."you were able to answer a nagging question of faith for me.." but most often...it was "thanks for you and Shelly just being who you are!" Well we want to thank you for being who you are as well, "God's craftsmanship"...His word says. And you guys are in deed a beautiful piece of work!

The plan is to finally get rid of this last infection and we seem to have it up against the ropes. My normal blood counts are getting stronger. If I can get stabilized then I would take a half step out of the hospital to a friend's condo for a week or two, depending on blood tests etc...If I remain stable, then I may come home to Maui. What I can do, or not do, how much I can do and for how long; all lie in God's beautiful hands. We would like prayer for the miracle, of course, and for blessings on all the steps back to Maui.

In love with you forever,
Kit & Shelly
